At trial the jury found defendant not to be the child\u2019s father, and a judgment was entered accordingly in favor of defendant. A majority of the Court of Appeals, Judge Walker dissenting, found no error in the trial and affirmed the judgment.\nPlaintiff\u2019s petition for discretionary review of an additional issue was improvidently allowed.\nFor the reasons given in Judge Walker\u2019s dissenting opinion, the decision of the Court of Appeals is reversed and the matter remanded to that court for further remand to the District Court, Franklin County, for a new trial.\nPETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW IMPROVIDENTLY ALLOWED; REVERSED AND REMANDED; NEW TRIAL.",
