DUKE v. STEED et al.

HALL, Presiding Judge.

One defendant in a negligence action appeals from the judgment. The sole issue on this appeal is the order of argument which was set by the court as follows: plaintiff's counsel No. 1; co-defendant's counsel No. 1; appellant's counsel; co-defendant's counsel No. 2; plaintiff's counsel No. 2. The court's ruling complies with all the limitations on its discretion in this matter. Plaintiff received opening and concluding arguments; no more than two counsel per side were permitted to argue; and only one was heard in conclusion. See Code § 24-3320. It was within the court's discretion to allow co-defendant's two counsel to argue before and after appellant's Hines v. Donaldson, 193 Ga. 783 ( 20 S.E.2d 134); Gunnells v. Cotton States Mut. Ins. Co. 117 Ga. App. 123 ( 159 S.E.2d 730); Pealock v. Pealock, 227 Ga. 795 ( 183 S.E.2d 397).

Judgment affirmed. Pannell and Quillian, JJ., concur.

ARGUED NOVEMBER 7, 1972 — DECIDED NOVEMBER 14, 1972.
