I dissent from the Court's issuance of a writ of mandamus directing the trial court to enter a summary judgment in favor of Deputy Haralson. The writ should not be issued because Deputy Haralson has another adequate legal remedy still available to him. The possibility exists that he could appeal by permission pursuant to Rule 5, Ala.R.App.P.
By this dissent, I do not wish to suggest that Deputy Haralson is or is not entitled to State immunity. Rather, in this particular situation a petition for writ of mandamus is not the proper method for review of the trial court's order.
