## Opinion text

COBB, Chief Justice
(dissenting).
Although the petitioner in this case filed its petition in the form of a brief rather than by explicitly following the form specified by Rule 39, Ala. R.App. P., I believe the legal arguments and analysis in that brief were in substantial compliance with Rule 39. Under these circumstances, I conclude that the petitioner presented sufficient indicia of merit to support granting this petition. Accordingly, I respectfully dissent.
MURDOCK, J., concurs.
