Background
Appellant Chantelle Reeves filed a motion under Court of Appeals Rule 40(b) seeking additional time to file an application for discretionary appeal in her case against Conner Schilling.
The court’s order does not describe the underlying dispute, the ruling from which Reeves seeks to appeal, or her reasons for requesting an extension.
The Court’s Holding
The Court of Appeals of Georgia granted Reeves’s motion for an extension of time.
The court extended the filing deadline by 30 days, making the application for discretionary appeal due September 25, 2026. Citing Court of Appeals Rule 16(c), the court stated that no further extensions may be granted.
Key Takeaways
- Reeves received a 30-day extension to file her application for discretionary appeal.
- The new filing deadline is September 25, 2026.
- The court expressly prohibited any further extension of the deadline.
Why It Matters
The order preserves Reeves’s opportunity to seek discretionary appellate review, provided she files by the extended deadline.
It also makes clear that September 25, 2026, is the final deadline and that Reeves cannot obtain additional time under the cited appellate rule.
