Background
Nicole Roy and others filed an application asking the Court of Appeals of Georgia to permit a discretionary appeal in litigation against David Thompson. The matter arose from Superior Court case number SUCV2025002205.
The court’s brief order does not describe the underlying dispute, the superior court’s ruling, or the grounds asserted in the application.
The Court’s Holding
The Court of Appeals granted the application for discretionary appeal. The order permits the appellants to file a notice of appeal within 10 days of August 11, 2026.
The court directed the Clerk of Superior 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 anticipated appeal or express any view on the superior court’s ruling.
Key Takeaways
- The appellants received permission to pursue a discretionary appeal.
- They must file a notice of appeal within 10 days of the order’s date.
- The grant concerns appellate review only and does not resolve the underlying merits.
Why It Matters
The order allows the case to proceed into the appellate process, where the Court of Appeals may review the challenged superior court ruling after the required notice is timely filed and the record is transmitted.
