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.
