Supreme Court of Alabama

Global Environmental Group, Inc., d/b/a Global Trash Solutions, and Peter Spano II v. Braxton L. Kittrell IV

February 20, 2026

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama dismissed the appeal because the circuit court's order denying relief from the default judgment was not final. The order simultaneously authorized additional discovery concerning whether GTS had been properly served, leaving that issue unresolved. The court also declined to treat the appeal as a petition for a writ of mandamus because the appellants provided no adequate basis for doing so and inadequately argued that the discovery order exceeded the circuit court's discretion.
