Background
Yalanda D. Williams filed an application for discretionary appeal in litigation against Deitrich M. Williams, Sr. The order does not describe the underlying dispute, the superior court’s ruling, or the grounds asserted in the application.
The matter originated under Superior Court number 23CV00413. The Court of Appeals considered only whether to permit the requested discretionary appeal to proceed.
The Court’s Holding
The Court of Appeals of Georgia granted Williams’s application for discretionary appeal. The order does not decide the merits of the underlying case or identify the issues that will be presented on appeal.
The court authorized the appellant to file a notice of appeal within 10 days of the order’s August 24, 2026 date. 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 discretionary appeal was granted.
- The appellant has 10 days from August 24, 2026, to file a notice of appeal.
- The order permits appellate review but does not resolve the appeal’s merits.
Why It Matters
The order allows the appellant to move forward with an appeal that required the Court of Appeals’ permission. Compliance with the 10-day notice deadline is necessary to pursue that review.
