JONES v. FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF ATLANTA et al.

SMITH, Judge.

Jones, appellant, had his suit against First National dismissed on the dual grounds of failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted and res judicata. This appeal enumerates as error, and argues, only the latter grounds; the former, failure to state a claim, is never attacked as incorrect. We affirm.

Matters not enumerated as error will not be considered on appeal ( Rider v. State, 226 Ga. 14 (2) ( 172 S.E.2d 318) (1970)) and are therefore presumed to be binding and correct. Nalley v. Aiken, 120 Ga. App. 535 ( 171 S.E.2d 377) (1969). "[A]judgment which is correct will not be reversed even if it were shown... that some incorrect reasons were cited as the basis for the judgment." Engineered Builders v. Lamar Nash Buick-Pontiac, Inc., 133 Ga. App. 141, 143 ( 210 S.E.2d 179) (1974). Thus it is not important whether the trial court was correct or not as to the res judicata element of the judgment; the judgment would be affirmed in either instance.

Judgment affirmed. Deen, P. J., and Banke, J., concur.

ARGUED SEPTEMBER 12, 1978 — DECIDED OCTOBER 5, 1978.
