Luther Ward v. Daniel W. Massey

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,__________________ January 31, 2013

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A13A0843. LUTHER WARD v. DANIEL W. MASSEY.

Prisoner Luther Ward attempted to file a mandamus action in the trial court. The trial court denied Ward’s filing under OCGA § 9-15-2 (d), and Ward filed this appeal. The Supreme Court, however, has exclusive appellate jurisdiction over all cases involving extraordinary remedies, including mandamus. See Ga. Const. of 1983, Art. VI, Sec. VI, Par. III (5); Ladzinske v. Allen, 280 Ga. 264 (626 SE2d 83) (2006). This case is thus TRANSFERRED to the Supreme Court for disposition.
