Supreme Court of Alabama
In re: Demarco Stoudmire v. City of Birmingham
July 2, 2026
Summary
The court granted the City's mandamus petition and directed the circuit court to enter summary judgment for the City on municipal-immunity grounds. The City made a prima facie showing that it lacked actual or constructive notice of the road defect, while Stoudmire's remaining evidence was either inadmissible, speculative, or insufficiently connected to the particular defect that caused his accident.
