Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ April 01, 2020

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A20E0040. IN RE AMANDA HORTON.

Amanda Horton has filed this emergency motion, seeking an emergency appeal and a stay of the trial court’s contempt order.

Under OCGA § 5-6-13 (a), an appellant may obtain a stay of a criminal contempt order upon filing a request for supersedeas and written notice of the intent to appeal. See also Cross v. Ivester, 315 Ga. App. 760, 769 (4) (728 SE2d 299) (2012). Although the appellant submitted her notice of appeal with her emergency motion, the records do not show that the appellant requested and was denied supersedeas. As such, the emergency motion seeking to stay the contempt order is DENIED.

Appellant’s motion for an emergency appeal is also DENIED.
