Rodolfo L. Martinez v. Vance Laughlin, Interim Warden

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ August 24, 2015

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15D0535. RODOLFO L. MARTINEZ v. VANCE LAUGHLIN, INTERIM WARDEN, et al.

Prisoner Rodolfo L. Martinez filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus. The trial court denied Martinez’s filing under OCGA § 9-15-2 (d), and Martinez filed this application for discretionary 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 application is thus TRANSFERRED to the Supreme Court for disposition.
