Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ June 04, 2020

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A20A0510. IN RE ESTATE OF EUNICE ZENOBIA TAYLOR.

On January 4, 2019, appellant Shango Taylor filed an amended notice of appeal from the probate court’s final order in this case. Subsequently, the appellant requested an extension of time in which to file his brief, which this Court granted, giving the appellant until December 10, 2019, to file his brief. On December 11, 2019, counsel for appellant filed a motion to withdraw. This Court denied counsel’s motion and ordered that the appellant’s brief be filed within 30 days of our order. On January 13, 2020, the appellant filed his brief and enumeration of errors. Appellee Mary Margaret Oliver, the administrator of the estate in this case and a member of the Georgia General Assembly, is not required to respond to pleadings until 15 days after the adjournment of the Georgia General Assembly pursuant to OCGA § 9-10-150. However, the General Assembly suspended its legislative session due to the outbreak of coronavirus and is set to reconvene in mid-June 2020. As the appellee’s brief will not be due before this Court must issue a decision in this case, it is hereby ORDERED that this case be REMANDED to the probate court. Following remand, the appellant may re-institute the appeal by filing a new notice of appeal in the probate court.
