Heading: The Issues Within this Court's Jurisdiction

Text: Only McLeod has petitioned this Court for certiorari review. McLeod asserts that the Court of Civil Appeals has incorrectly decided a question of first impression. See Rule 39(a)(1)(C), Ala. R.App. P. McLeod describes the question as dealing with the manner of computation of full-time or part-time status under the FDA. In its brief in opposition to McLeod's petition, the college argues that, with one possible exception, the petition is due to be denied: The Respondents would not object to the review of [this issue] within the context of deciding whether or not the concurring Judges erred when they found that the Fair Dismissal Act applies to community college instructors. Because three of the five Judges on the Court of Civil Appeals agreed that the FDA applied and because the college has not challenged this determination by cross-petition, the applicability of the FDA has become the law of this case.
