BELGER v. EXCHANGE BANK et al.

Opinion:
Smith, Judge.
Appellant has failed to point out any error committed by the trial court, and we therefore affirm its grant of appellees' motion for summary judgment.
Contrary to appellant's contention, the record shows conclusively that the trial court, in ruling on the motion for summary judgment, did consider all the depositions on file. Also, appellant's contrary allegation notwithstanding, he had had ample opportunity to prepare defense to appellees' motion for summary judgment and the trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying his motion for a continuance of the hearing on the motion for summary judgment. At the time of his motion for continuance, appellant's suit had been pending for approximately five years, and the conducted discovery had resulted in a record of 1,400 pages. See Vaughn & Co. v. Saul, 143 Ga. App. 74 (4) (237 SE2d 622) (1977). Finally, appellant's brief is bereft of any argument on his contention that material issues of fact remain as to appellees' liability for fraud, and we therefore deem that contention to be abandoned.
