Roger Bankston v. Res-Ga Oxford, LLC

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,__________________ September 26, 2013

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A13A2202, A13A2206. ROGER BANKSTON v. RES-GA OXFORD, LLC.

Res-Ga Oxford, LLC brought two dispossessory actions against Roger Bankston in magistrate court and obtained writs of possession in both. Bankston appealed the magistrate court rulings to superior court, which dismissed his appeals. Bankston then appealed directly to this Court. Those appeals were docketed as Case Nos. A13A1765 and A13A1766. We dismissed the appeals for lack of jurisdiction, and we denied Bankston’s subsequent motions for reconsideration. Meanwhile, the superior court granted Res-Ga Oxford, LLC’s motions for supersedeas bonds in both cases. Bankston now appeals the orders granting the supersedeas bonds. Because we have dismissed the underlying appeals, any issues pertaining to the supersedeas bonds are moot. See, e.g., Muhammad v. Power Lending, LLC, 311 Ga. App. 347, 350 (5) (715 SE2d 734) (2011). And an appeal of an issue that has become moot is subject to dismissal. OCGA § 5-6-48 (b) (3). Accordingly, these appeals are hereby DISMISSED.
