Venetian Hills Apartments, LLC v. Marie Hughes, as Authorized Administrator for the Estate of George Hughes
We disagree. 3 Under OCGA § 9-11-50 (a) - (b), a motion for judgment n.o.v. must be granted when “there is no conflict in the evidence as to any material issue and the evidence introduced, with all reasonable deductions therefrom, shall demand a particular verdict.” Conversely, if “there is conflicting evidence, or there is insufficient evidence to make a ‘one-way’ verdict proper, judgment n.o.v. should not be awarded.” (Citation omitted.)

Moreover, even if the facts in a case are entirely uncontradicted and uncontroverted, where “ ‘there is room for difference of opinion between reasonable men as to whether or not negligence should be inferred, the right to draw the inference is peculiarly within the exclusive province of the jury.’ [Cits.]” Bryant v.

App. 442, 444 ( 287 SE2d 238 ) (1981). ‘ “While it is erroneous for a court to direct a verdict in favor of a particular party to the cause where there is an issue of fact, when the proved facts, viewed from every possible legal point raised by the evidence, would sustain no finding other than the one directed, i.e., where there is no issue of fact, then it is error to refuse to direct an appropriate verdict.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to appellee, the party who secured the jury verdict, Bryant v. Colvin, 160 Ga. App. 442, 444 ( 287 SE2d 238 ) (1981), one witness testified about the minutes to a city council meeting he had attended at which a motion was made that a traffic signal at the corner of the intersection “should be installed so as to be in view from under the underpass.” Other testimony was presented from the city administrator whose job it was to manage the daily affairs of the City, the superintendent of utilities for the City who was head of the department resp…

v.
UPTON

The state attempts to appeal from the denial of a motion for “a protective order in regard to the answering of certain interrogatories and the taking of a deposition of Farhang Mansour.” Code Ann. § 81A-126 (c) provides that a protective order may be sought by a party to the action or by the person from whom discovery is being sought. The record in the instant case demonstrates that the discovery being sought of Mr. Mansour is for use in a civil action which has been instituted against him by Upton. Mr. Mansour has filed no notice of appeal from the denial of the protective order and the record before us demonstrates that the state is not a party to the civil action in which the order appealed from was entered. Thus, the instant appeal is being pursued by one who was neither a party to the case below nor the person from whom discovery was sought. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for lack of standing. “ ‘It will be accepted as elementary, that no person is entitled to prosecute a writ of error for the reversal of a judgment, unless that person was a party to the proceeding in which the judgment complained of was rendered.’ [Cits.]” Gates v. Rutledge, 151 Ga. App. 844 (261 SE2d 757) (1979).
Appeal dismissed.
