DOOLIN, Justice: Jurisdiction assumed; let certiorari issue to the Court of Appeals, Temporary Division 113. The opinion of the Court of Appeals Temporary Division 113 is hereby vacated, for a Court of Appeals may not overrule an opinion of the Supreme Court of Oklahoma. Rule 3.13 A(4), 12 O.S.1981, Chap. 15, App. 3. This Court is further of the opinion that Sudheimer v. Cheatam, 443 P.2d 951 (Okl.1968) is distinguishable in fact from and therefore not in conflict with Leach v.

UpLaw has not yet analyzed Wimberly v. Buford. The absence of a flag is not a finding that it is good law.
