Background
Nefptali Acosta Marquin filed an application asking the Court of Appeals of Georgia to permit an interlocutory appeal in litigation against Errol Crawford. The order identifies the lower-court case number as 25C09956.
The brief order does not describe the underlying dispute, the ruling Marquin seeks to challenge, or the grounds asserted in the application.
The Court’s Holding
The Court of Appeals granted Marquin’s application for interlocutory appeal. The order permits Marquin to file a notice of appeal within 10 days of October 21, 2026.
The court also 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 decide the merits of the underlying dispute or the merits of the anticipated appeal.
Key Takeaways
- The interlocutory-appeal application was granted.
- Marquin has 10 days from the order’s date to file a notice of appeal.
- The State Court clerk must include the order in the appellate record.
Why It Matters
The order allows immediate appellate review of an otherwise nonfinal ruling, provided Marquin timely files the required notice of appeal. It reflects permission to proceed with the appeal, not a substantive ruling on the issues to be reviewed.
