Background
Stephanie Gravitt filed an application asking the Court of Appeals of Georgia to permit an interlocutory appeal in a criminal case identified below as Superior Court case number 25CR0597.
The court’s brief order does not identify the challenged ruling, describe the underlying charges, state Gravitt’s arguments, or provide the State’s response.
The Court’s Holding
The Court of Appeals granted Gravitt’s application for interlocutory appeal. The order permits Gravitt to file a notice of appeal within 10 days of August 31, 2026.
The court also directed the superior court clerk to include the order in the record transmitted on appeal. The order does not resolve the merits of the proposed appeal or explain why interlocutory review was granted.
Key Takeaways
- Gravitt may proceed with an interlocutory appeal.
- She must file her notice of appeal within 10 days of the order’s date.
- The order addresses permission to appeal only and announces no substantive legal holding.
Why It Matters
The ruling allows immediate appellate review before the underlying criminal case reaches a final judgment. Its significance will depend on the issue presented in the ensuing appeal, which the order does not disclose.
