Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ December 17, 2014

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15A0636. MIKE LAYER v. BARROW COUNTY, et al.

Mike Layer filed a civil action against numerous defendants, including Barrow County, alleging, generally, that they had breached an agreement as to their use of his sewer pump station. As part of his action, Layer sought mandamus relief. After the trial court granted the defendants’ motions to dismiss, Layer filed this appeal. The Supreme Court has exclusive appellate jurisdiction over all cases involving extraordinary remedies, including mandamus. See Ga. Const. of 1983, Art. VI, Sec. VI, Par. III (5). Because this case involves the denial of a request for mandamus relief, jurisdiction lies in the Supreme Court. See Ladzinske v. Allen, 280 Ga. 264 (626 SE2d 83) (2006). Accordingly, this appeal is hereby TRANSFERRED to the Supreme Court for disposition.
