Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ December 06, 2017

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A18A0606. ERIC ULYSSES JACKSON v. FORSYTH COUNTY SHERIFF.

Prison inmate Eric Ulysses Jackson filed an emergency petition for writ of habeas corpus, seeking immediate release from incarceration. The trial court entered a final order denying Jackson’s petition, and Jackson filed a notice of appeal to this Court. Jackson has since filed a motion to transfer his case to the Supreme Court. Under our Constitution, the Supreme Court has appellate jurisdiction over all cases involving habeas corpus. See Ga. Const. 1983, Art. VI, Sec. VI, Par. III (4). Accordingly, Jackson’s motion is GRANTED, and this case is hereby TRANSFERRED to the Supreme Court for disposition.
