Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from a Summary Judgment entered in favor of a physician in a medical malpractice case. We reverse.

The procedure leading up to entry of the Summary Judgment was improper and prejudicial. It also appears from the record that factual issues existed. The Summary Judgment below is reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings. See Holl v. Talcott, 191 So. 2d 40 (Fla.1966); and Howe v. South Broward Hospital District, 345 So. 2d 1079 (Fla. 4th DCA 1977).

DOWNEY, C. J., BERANEK, J., and BAKER, JOSEPH P., Associate Judge, concur.

    …ses. Appellants now argue that the denial of those motions constituted error. Suppression of an out-of-court identification is mandated where the procedures, under the totality of the circumstances, are impermissibly suggestive. State v. Sepulvado, 362 So. 2d 324 (Fla. 2d DCA 1978). The trial court concluded that the methods employed were not impermissi-bly suggestive and such finding comes to us with a presumption of correctness.

    …are troubled that the opinion testimony was, in essence, a comment on the victim’s credibility and was used as such by the prosecutor in closing arguments. It is the jury’s function to determine the credibility of witnesses. See State v. Sepulvado, 362 So. 2d 324, 330 (Fla. 2d DCA 1978) (“The believability or credibility of a witness ... [is] normally the exclusive or peculiar function of the jury.”). We conclude that the prejudicial effect of this evidence substantially outweighed its probative value in as…
