Background
Puckett Emergency Medical Services, LLC sought permission to pursue an interlocutory appeal in litigation brought by Rebecca Elizabeth Sowar, as administrator of the Estate of James Bickley.
The order does not describe the underlying facts, the trial court’s ruling, or the legal issue Puckett seeks to appeal. It identifies the lower-court number as 25A3461.
The Court’s Holding
The Court of Appeals of Georgia granted Puckett’s application for interlocutory appeal. The order permits Puckett to file a notice of appeal within 10 days of August 19, 2026.
The court directed the Clerk of State Court to include a copy of the order in the record transmitted to the Court of Appeals. The order does not resolve the merits of the underlying dispute or the issue to be raised on appeal.
Key Takeaways
- The court granted discretionary interlocutory review.
- Puckett may file a notice of appeal within 10 days of the order.
- The order addresses only permission to appeal, not the merits of the case.
Why It Matters
The ruling allows immediate appellate review before the underlying litigation reaches a final judgment. Because the order contains no factual or legal analysis, its significance is procedural and does not indicate how the Court of Appeals may decide the eventual appeal.
