Background
Jalen Uboh and other applicants sought permission to pursue an interlocutory appeal in litigation against Jerome R. Monroe and other parties. The underlying Superior Court matter bears case number 26CV003645.
The Court of Appeals’ brief order does not describe the underlying dispute, the ruling for which review was requested, or the parties’ arguments. It addresses only whether the requested interlocutory appeal may proceed.
The Court’s Holding
The Court of Appeals of Georgia granted the application for interlocutory appeal. The order does not decide the merits of the underlying controversy or determine whether the challenged Superior Court ruling was correct.
The court authorized the appellants to file a notice of appeal within 10 days after September 28, 2026. It also directed the Superior Court clerk to include a copy of the order in the record transmitted to the Court of Appeals.
Key Takeaways
- The application for interlocutory appeal was granted.
- The appellants have 10 days from the order’s date to file a notice of appeal.
- The order permits appellate review but expresses no view on the merits.
Why It Matters
The ruling allows the parties to obtain appellate review before the underlying Superior Court case reaches a final judgment. Its immediate significance is procedural: the appeal may move forward if the appellants timely file their notice of appeal.
