On August 4, 1999, appellant/plaintiff Craig David Krieger filed in the Superior Court of Clayton County the instant Equitable Petition to Set Aside Fraudulent Conveyances and Other Relief against appellees/defendants Thomas Lee Speir “Speir”, Rebecca Speir Merry, the Estate of Eleanor Cotton Speir, Jeffrey Edward Merry, Jr., Jonathan Lee Merry, Joshua Speir Merry, Thomas Lee Speir, III, and Angela Dawn Speir, Carlene H. Speir, the Speir Family Partnership, L. P., Oakpark Management Co., Inc., and Jeffrey E. Merry. In doing so, Krieger sought satisfaction of the Clayton County Superior Court’s 1997 judgment upon a suit in equity awarding him treble damages in the amount of $771,444 against Speir, McFrugal Auto Rental, Inc., and others arising out of injuries Krieger sustained in a 1993 automobile accident when the vehicle he drove was hit by the driver of a car rented from McFrugal.

App. 392 509 SE2d 684 1998, which noted that the Fulton County Superior had correctly determined that Krieger had pierced the corporate veil and held, among other things, that McFrugal’s “repeated sale to unsuspecting Georgia consumers of non-existent automobile insurance is the very essence of OCGA § 16-14-1 et seq., civil RICO,1 amounting to theft by deception. Cits.” Id. at 401 5 b.

By the instant petition, Krieger appeals from the Clayton County Superior Court’s grant of partial2 summary judgment to Speir and his second wife, Carlene H. Speir, declining to set aside as a fraudulent conveyance the September 21, 1995 transfer to her of the Henry County property which the Speirs first lived in as a married couple, 125 Oakpark Terrace “125 Oakpark” or “property”, McDonough, Georgia, and relieving her of potential liability associated with the subsequent sale of the property and reinvestment of the proceeds thereof in a second marital home in Jonesboro, Georgia. Krieger challenges the grant of partial summary judgment to the Speirs. Finding such claim of error to be without merit, we affirm. Held:
