Heading: Hallmark's motion

Text: Hallmark contends that its motion for summary judgment should have been granted. In response to Hallmark's motion, Edward H. Peevy contended that the account balances stated in the complaint were incorrect. Attached to his response to Hallmark's summary judgment motion were two letters from an attorney representing Garry Peevy stating that Garry Peevy questioned the amount stated as the fixture account balance. The decision that Edward H. Peevy was entitled to summary judgment with respect to the entire amount owed by Garry Peevy to Hallmark made it unnecessary to decide Hallmark's motion, although the trial court did so and denied it. If it is determined upon remand that Edward H. Peevy had guaranteed payment of an obligation of Garry Peevy which was not secured by the collateral sold without notice to Edward H. Peevy, the question may again arise whether Hallmark is entitled to summary judgment on an obligation not included in the security agreement. The trial court can then decide whether there is any remaining issue of fact in that respect. We affirm the judgment to the extent of holding that Hallmark is not entitled to a deficiency judgment with respect to the difference between the $18,200 it received upon sale of the fixtures and the balance of the fixture account, $21,991.25, which Hallmark stated was secured by the security agreement. We reverse the judgment to the extent it precluded Hallmark from proving its entitlement to recover on any account or amount not clearly covered by the security agreement and thus not clearly extinguished by the sale of the collateral without notice. Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded. PURTLE, J., concurs. HAYS and GLAZE, JJ., dissent.
