Terry Boyd v. Morehouse College, Inc.

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,__________________ September 23, 2013

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A14D0039. TERRY BOYD v. MOREHOUSE COLLEGE, INC.

Terry Boyd filed suit against Morehouse College, Inc. The trial court granted summary judgment to the defendant, and Boyd filed this application for discretionary appeal. Pursuant to OCGA § 9-11-56 (h), the grant of summary judgment may be appealed directly. See Whiddon v. Stargell, 192 Ga. App. 826, 828 (386 SE2d 884) (1989). The order in this case is thus subject to direct appeal. This Court will grant an otherwise timely discretionary application if the lower court’s order is directly appealable and the applicant has not already filed a notice of appeal. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (j). Therefore, this application is hereby GRANTED. Boyd shall have ten days from the date of this order to file a notice of appeal if he has not already done so. The clerk of the superior court is directed to include a copy of this order in the appeal record transmitted to this Court.
