The executor appeals from the granting of a summary judgment for the defendant. This appeal is related to the same case as the appeal considered in
Sams v. McDonald,
1. In
Sams v. McDonald,
supra, p. 345, the grant of a summary judgment in favor of the defendant Mrs. McDonald was reversed, the court observing that if there had been evidence negating the allegation of inceptive fraud the summary judgment would have been proper. Upon remittitur to the trial court after that decision Mrs. McDonald again made a motion for summary judgment presenting additional evidence including her affidavit stating, “. . . at the time she signed the application for a share account with Mr. Lanier R. Billups, in the DeKalb County Federal Savings & Loan Association, there was no promise by her or request for a promise from her that she would use the account solely for Mr. Billups’ benefit in paying medical, hospital and doctor bills due to his physical incapacity and sickness. Deponent further says that no request was ever made upon her by anyone for the making of any withdrawal on said account prior to Mr. Billups’ death.” In
Sams v. First National Bank,
2. The trial court did not err in denying the plaintiff’s motion to dismiss the defendant’s second motion for summary judgment with which additional evidence was submitted. “While we certainly do not approve in general of the piecemeal consideration of successive motions for summary judgment, since defendants might well normally be held to the requirement that they present their strongest case for summary judgment when the matter is first raised, we do not believe the rules
*548
prohibit the consideration by a trial court of a second motion of this nature.” Allstate Finance Corp. v. Zimmerman, 296 F2d 797, 799 (5th Cir. 1961); Brownfield v. Landon, 307 F2d 389, 393 (D. C. Cir. 1962);
Venable v. Grage,
Judgment affirmed.
