311 S.E.2d 80 | S.C. Ct. App. | 1983
Respondent Odell B. Lewis brought this action to recover for personal injuries sustained in a tractor accident. Atkinson Implement Co., Inc., and the appellant J. G. Slocumb filed motions for summary judgment alleging that Lewis’ injuries were caused by his own negligence. Both motions were denied. Subsequently, Lewis entered into a convenant with Atkinson Implement not to sue. Slocumb immediately filed a motion for a change of venue which was denied. He now appeals the order denying that motion alleging that the trial court erred (1) in denying him a change of venue because his right to be tried in the county of his residence is a substantial right and because he is the sole remaining defendant in the action and (2) in failing to rule that Atkinson Implement was a sham defendant for venue purposes.
Dismissed.
