Hastings, C.J.,
concurring in part, andin part dissenting.
I concur in that portion of the majority opinion dealing with the issue of res judicata. However, I join in the dissent of Judge Boslaugh to the extent that it suggests the record supports the conclusion that garnishee-appellee Farm Bureau met its burden of demonstrating that the uncontroverted facts showed that it was entitled to judgment as a matter of law and appellants failed in their burden of presenting evidence showing an issue of material fact which prevented a judgment for the garnishee-appellee as a matter of law. See Mason State Bank v. Sekutera, 236 Neb. 361, 461 N.W.2d 517 (1990). The injured *470persons were parties to this litigation and had an opportunity to controvert Farm Bureau’s prima facie case and failed to do so. It would seem that the trial court reached the right result for perhaps the wrong reason.
I am authorized to state that Judge Caporale joins in this concurrence and dissent.
