Text: On appeal, Blackmon raises these issues: (1) whether the trial court erred in implicitly holding that the conflicting evidence regarding whether the younger John was Blackmon's father failed to establish a genuine issue of material fact, (2) whether the trial court erred in holding that Ala.Code 1975, § 6-2-33(2), barred Blackmon's claim to a share of the elder John's estate, (3) whether the trial court erred in holding that Blackmon's paternity claim was not proper since the estate of the younger John was not a party to the lawsuit, and (4) whether the trial court erred in granting the summary-judgment motion without first ordering genetic testing to determine whether the younger John was Blackmon's father. The dispositive issue is whether § 6-2-33(2) barred Blackmon's counterclaims.
