Plaintiff filed a legal action seeking to evict his tenant. The trial court entered summary judgment in the landlord’s favor and defendant appealed. The appellate court vacated and remanded, finding that the record was insufficient to award the drastic remedy of summary judgment. (McBRIDE and D.B. WALKER, concurring)
