In Re: Estate of Michael Harvey Aronson

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ December 22, 2022

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A23E0022. IN RE: ESTATE OF MICHAEL HARVEY ARONSON.

Linda Faye Aronson has filed a motion for an extension of time to file both a

notice of appeal and an application for a discretionary appeal. The trial court order

at issue is dated November 23, 2022. Thus, excluding Court holidays, Aronson’s 30-

day deadline to file the foregoing documents is not until December 27, 2022.

See OCGA § 5-6-38 (a) (“A notice of appeal shall be filed within 30 days after entry

of the appealable decision or judgment complained of . . . .”); Ga. Ct. App. R. 31 (a)

(“An application for discretionary appeal must generally be filed in this Court within

30 days of the date of the entry of the trial court’s order being appealed . . . .”).

Because Aronson filed this motion before her notice of appeal or application for a

discretionary appeal are due, her motion is hereby GRANTED. See OCGA 5-6-39 (c)

(“Only one extension of time shall be granted for filing of a notice of appeal and a

notice of cross appeal, and the extension shall not exceed the time otherwise allowed

for the filing of the notices initially.”); Ga. Ct. App. 31 (i) (“No extensions of time

will be granted to file a discretionary application unless a motion for extension is filed on or before the application due date.”). Aronson must file her notice of appeal

and/or her application for a discretionary appeal on or before January 6, 2023.
