NICHOLS, Justice.
This is a companion appeal involving the same litigation as Southernaire Corp. v. Worley, 230 Ga. 486. After summary judgment was granted the defendants, such judgment was stayed for a period of sixty days. After the notice of appeal had been filed, the plaintiffs sought and obtained from the trial court a supersedeas during appeal. The defendants appealed and the sole enumeration of error complains of the grant of supersedeas after the notice of appeal was filed. Held:
1. While in a civil action the trial court loses jurisdiction upon the filing of a notice of appeal ( Aetna Cas. c. Co. v. Bullington, 227 Ga. 485 (1) ( 181 S.E.2d 495)), yet in an injunction case the trial court is empowered to suspend or modify the injunction after a notice of appeal is filed ( Stephens v. Geise, 226 Ga. 639 ( 176 S.E.2d 923)), and the grant of the supersedeas in the present case shows no error.
Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.
NICHOLS, Justice.
ARGUED MARCH 12, 1973 — DECIDED APRIL 13, 1973.
