Stephen Fox v. Tricounty Real Estate Property Management

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ June 18, 2019

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A19E0055. STEPHEN FOX et al. v. TRICOUNTY REAL ESTATE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT.

Stephen Fox has filed this emergency motion for an extension of time to file a discretionary application to appeal an adverse dispossessory judgment entered in favor of Tricounty Real Estate Property Management. Under Court of Appeals Rule 31 (i), “[n]o 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.” Pursuant to OCGA § 44-7-56, Fox was required to file a discretionary application within seven days of the date the dispossessory judgment was entered. Here, the dispossessory judgment was entered on May 22, 2019; Fox’s emergency motion and amendment to the motion were accepted as “filed” on June 11, 2019. Because Fox’s amended emergency motion was thus untimely filed, said motion is hereby DENIED.
