Miller Industries, Inc. Announces Summary Judgment Dismissing Shareholder Class Action Lawsuit

     CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Nov. 30 On November 27, 2000, Miller
Industries, Inc. was notified that the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Georgia had entered summary judgment on
November 20, 2000 in favor of the Defendants, dismissing the securities class
action lawsuit, relating to events between November, 1996 and September, 1997,
which has been described in its prior public filings.
    On November 21, 2000, the Company also was notified that the Tennessee
Supreme Court had denied Plaintiffs' Writ of Certiorari regarding the
affirmance by the Tennessee Court of Appeals of the dismissal of the
securities class action complaint in the Hamilton County, Tennessee Chancery
Court.  That ruling terminated the shareholder suit brought at the State Court
level in Tennessee.
    These favorable rulings dismiss all pending shareholder litigation against
the Company.
    In granting Defendants' motion for summary judgment, the Federal District
Court in Atlanta found that Plaintiff's allegations were without a sufficient
basis to present a legitimate issue for trial.  The Court's most recent order
held that Plaintiffs had failed to present any evidence relating to 5 of the
7 alleged accounting violations which had survived Defendants' initial motion
to dismiss in the Court's July, 1998 order.  As to the remaining 2 alleged
accounting violations, the Court found that the Company made no actionable
statements or omissions.
    Regarding the recent developments, Miller Industries, Inc. Chairman
William G. Miller stated, "I'm pleased that finally after more than three
years the Judges in both the federal and state courts by their rulings have
vindicated the senior management of Miller Industries.  This is a management
team that has maintained the highest level of integrity and dedication while
serving this company and its shareholders since it became a public company in
1994 and I'm happy to see the record has finally been set straight."
    Mr. Jeffrey I. Badgley, President and CEO, added, "I'm glad the Company
never gave in to the plaintiffs' lawyers in their spurious shareholder
lawsuits.  We deserved to be vindicated and we have been.  We are pleased that
these lawsuits will no longer be a distraction from our full attention and
focus on the success of the Company."
    Oscar N. Persons of Alston & Bird LLP, the Company's defense counsel
stated, "My partner Rebecca Lamberth and I are gratified that the judicial
process has confirmed the fact that Miller Industries, Inc. and its senior
management acted properly in all respects."
