PER CURIAM.

As to the issue of the trial court’s personal jurisdiction over defendant Bernie R. Erde, we reverse the decision of the Court of Appeals majority for the reasons stated in the dissenting opinion and instruct that court to reinstate the trial court’s denial of Mr. Erde’s motion to dismiss. We further conclude that the petition of defendant Energex Batteries, Inc. for discretionary review as to additional issues was improvidently allowed.

REVERSED IN PART; DISCRETIONARY REVIEW IMPROVIDENTLY ALLOWED.

Justice TIMMONS-GOODSON did not participate in the consideration or decision of this case.
