Background
C&O Staffing, Inc., doing business as Aegis Specialty, sought permission from the Court of Appeals of Georgia to pursue an interlocutory appeal in its case against Jada Washington. The underlying State Court case number is 23A00396.
The order does not describe the underlying dispute, identify the ruling for which review was sought, or address the merits of either party’s position.
The Court’s Holding
The Court of Appeals granted C&O Staffing’s application for interlocutory appeal. The ruling authorizes the company to proceed with an appeal but does not resolve the merits of the underlying case or the challenged ruling.
The court stated that C&O Staffing may file a notice of appeal within 10 days of the order’s date. It also directed the State Court clerk to include a copy of the order in the record transmitted to the Court of Appeals.
Key Takeaways
- The Court of Appeals granted the application for interlocutory appeal.
- C&O Staffing has 10 days from October 13, 2026, to file its notice of appeal.
- The order permits appellate review but announces no decision on the merits.
Why It Matters
The order allows immediate appellate review before the underlying litigation reaches a final judgment. Its significance is procedural: the Court of Appeals agreed to hear the proposed interlocutory appeal, while leaving the substantive issues for later briefing and decision.
