Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,__________________ April 04, 2014

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A14A1367. CYNTHIA THOMAS et al. v. RALPH GERSHOM, LLC.

Ralph Gershom, LLC. filed a petition to quiet title against Cynthia and Eddie Thomas and a number of other parties and entities. The trial court granted summary judgment to Ralph Gershom, LLC., granting it fee simple title in the property. Cynthia and Eddie Thomas appealed to this Court. Under Ga. Const. 1983, Art. VI, Sec. VI, Par. III, the Supreme Court has original appellate jurisdiction over cases involving title to land. Because this appeal involves title to land, jurisdiction appears to lie in the Supreme Court. See Tharp v. Harpagon Co., 278 Ga. 654, 655 (1) (604 SE2d 156) (2004). Accordingly, the appeal is hereby TRANSFERRED to the Supreme Court for disposition.
