Daniel W. Taylor v. Gregory A. Adams ( 2015 )

Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,____________________
November 30, 2015
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A16D0128. DANIEL W. TAYLOR v. GREGORY A. ADAMS, et al.
Daniel Taylor filed this application for discretionary review, seeking to appeal
two court orders denying his requests to proceed in forma pauperis for the purpose
of seeking mandamus relief against several defendants. We lack jurisdiction.
The Supreme Court has exclusive appellate jurisdiction over all cases involving
extraordinary remedies, including mandamus. See Ga. Const. of 1983, Art. VI, Sec.
VI, Par. III (5); Ladzinske v. Allen, 280 Ga. 264, 264 (626 SE2d 83) (2006) (“[C]ases
involving the grant or denial of mandamus are within the exclusive jurisdiction of
[the Supreme] Court without regard to the underlying subject matter or the legal
issues raised.” (punctuation omitted)). Accordingly, this case is hereby
TRANSFERRED to the Supreme Court for disposition.
