BELL, Chief Judge.

In this trover suit against the warden of the state prison and two of his subordinates, the trial court granted defendants' motion for summary judgment. We affirm. The evidence of defendants, which was not disputed, established that they had not converted plaintiff's personalty. Conversion is an essential element for recovery in trover. Wood v. Frank Graham Co., 91 Ga.App. 621, 86 S.E.2d 691; Cooper v. Ricketts, 135 Ga.App. 346, 217 S.E.2d 503.

Judgment affirmed.
