Barnes V. Mclendon

ALEXANDER, J. -- Lawrence Barnes obtained review of a decision of the Court of Appeals in which that court affirmed a summary judgment of the Superior Court, dismissing Barnes's claim against the named defendants, Bruce Kaiser, Keith Douglass and "a partnership doing business as McLendon and Kaiser, Attorneys at Law" for recovery of the balance owing on a promissory note. Clerk's Papers at 1. In affirming the Superior Court, the Court of Appeals concluded that Barnes's claim against the defendants was barred by the statute of limitations and that, in addition, Barnes had failed to raise a genuine issue of material fact as to whether liability on the promissory note extended to Kaiser and Douglass as members of an alleged partnership composed of McLendon, Kaiser and Douglass.
