Opinion
89-1324.
October 19, 1990.
Appeal from the Circuit Court, Colbert County, No. CV-89-385, John L. Madison, J.
David R. Boyd and W. Joseph McCorkle, Jr. of Balch Bingham, Montgomery, for petitioner.
David Cromwell Johnson, Birmingham, and William R. Hovater, Tuscumbia, for respondent.
In quashing this writ, we must emphasize that the Civil Service Act creating the Civil Service Board of the City of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, does not mandate prehearing discovery, but that such discovery upon request of the parties is a matter of discretion with the Board, subject to judicial review.
WRIT QUASHED AS IMPROVIDENTLY GRANTED.
HORNSBY, C.J., and JONES, SHORES and KENNEDY, JJ., concur.
