Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ January 07, 2020 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A20E0022. SOUTH VENTURE INVESTMENT GROUP, LLC v. PENDER CAPITAL ASSET BASED LENDING FUND I, LP, et al. Appellant has filed an emergency motion pursuant to Court of Appeals Rule 40 (b), requesting that this Court intervene to prevent a foreclosure on Appellant’s property.1 Pursuant to Rule 40 (b), this Court shall exercise this power “sparingly.” Appellant contends that a post-foreclosure remedy will not fully restore Appellant’s rights because the foreclosure will negatively impact Appellant’s relationship with its tenants. However, Appellant has failed to show that a stay of the foreclosure is necessary to preserve this Court’s jurisdiction over the appeal or to prevent the contested issue from becoming moot as required for this Court to exercise its authority under Rule 40 (b). Accordingly, this motion is hereby DENIED.
