The Supreme Court denied the motion for certiorari and Wachovia and the Georgia Bankers Association have filed a joint motion for reconsideration brief. All Justices concurred with the denial except Justice Hunstein who dissented. If circumstances are presented at the inception of the account to put the bank on notice of an infirmity or incapacity of one of the parties on the account, that procedures be implemented to insure that the account is properly identified as an account needing special handling.
