OWEN v. LEWIS.
(443 SE2d 850)
Decided April 4, 1994.
Kaufman, Chaiken & Sorensen, Fredric Chaiken, Steven H. Koval, for appellant.
Stern & Edlin, George S. Stern, Janis Y. Dickman, for appellee.

Opinion:
Per curiam.
We granted the appellant's application to appeal to consider whether the trial court properly ruled that the appellant had waived his right to a trial by jury. Having reviewed the record, we conclude that the appellant filed a timely request for a jury trial, see OCGA § 19-5-1 and 19-6-19 (a), and that, contrary to the trial court's ruling, the appellant had not previously waived that right. The trial court thus erred in denying the appellant a trial by jury.
Judgment reversed.
All the Justices concur.
