Background
Elham Shaykholeslam filed an application asking the Court of Appeals of Georgia to permit a discretionary appeal in a case involving Armon Dadkhah. The order identifies the superior-court case number as SPDR2100410 but does not describe the underlying dispute, the ruling for which review was sought, or the parties’ arguments.
The court considered the application under appellate docket number A27D0198. Its brief order addressed only whether the requested discretionary appeal could proceed.
The Court’s Holding
The Court of Appeals granted Shaykholeslam’s application for discretionary appeal. The order did not decide the merits of the underlying case or explain the court’s reasons for accepting review.
The court authorized the appellant to file a notice of appeal within 10 days of the order’s date. It also directed the clerk of the superior court to include a copy of the order in the record transmitted to the Court of Appeals.
Key Takeaways
- The discretionary-appeal application was granted.
- The appellant has 10 days from October 22, 2026, to file a notice of appeal.
- The order permits appellate review but does not resolve the underlying dispute.
Why It Matters
The order allows the case to advance from the application stage to a full appeal, provided the appellant timely files the notice of appeal. Because the court offered no merits analysis, the order establishes no substantive holding beyond accepting the case for appellate review.
