Background
Kenneth Avery filed an application asking the Court of Appeals of Georgia to permit an interlocutory appeal. The order identifies four lower-court numbers: 24935494, 24935496, 24935498, and 25048425.
The brief order does not describe the underlying charges, disputed ruling, arguments, or merits of the proposed appeal.
The Court’s Holding
The Court of Appeals granted Avery’s application for interlocutory appeal. The order permits Avery to file a notice of appeal within 10 days of August 21, 2026; it does not require him to do so.
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 Avery’s proposed appeal.
Key Takeaways
- Avery received permission to pursue an interlocutory appeal.
- He may file a notice of appeal within 10 days of the order’s date.
- The order grants appellate review without resolving the underlying dispute.
Why It Matters
The ruling opens a path for immediate appellate review before final resolution of the underlying proceedings. Its significance is procedural: the court allowed the appeal to move forward but expressed no view on its merits.
