Tony Moore, Jr. has filed an application for discretionary appeal from the superior court’s order denying his "Motion to Grant Parole Under House Bill 328."

Moore’s motion is in substance a petition in the nature of mandamus. The Supreme Court of Georgia has exclusive appellate jurisdiction of all cases involving extraordinary remedies, including mandamus. Ga. Const. of 1983, Art. VI, Sec. VI, Par. III (5); see Settle v. McWhorter, 203 Ga. 93 (1) (45 SE2d 210) (1947). This case is therefore TRANSFERRED to the Supreme Court.
