    of the State of Georgia
    ATLANTA,____________________
    December 23, 2015
    The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
    A16A0664. GEORGIACARRY.ORG,                    INC.     v.   CODE       REVISION
    COMMISSION et al.
    GeorgiaCarry.Org, Inc., filed suit against the Code Revision Committee
    seeking mandamus, declaratory and injunctive relief.1 The trial court dismissed the
    complaint based, in part, on its conclusion that mandamus relief is inappropriate.
    GeorgiaCarry.Org filed a direct appeal from this ruling.
    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
     (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.’”). Accordingly, this appeal is hereby TRANSFERRED to the Supreme
    Court for disposition.

    GeorgiaCarry.Org also filed suit against Governor Nathan Deal. The trial
    court dismissed the complaint as to Governor Deal, and the appellant does not
    challenge this ruling on appeal.
