  • Court of Appeals
    of the State of Georgia
    ATLANTA,____________________
    July 26, 2021
    The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
    A21A1717. SHERMAN M. BROWN, JR. v. MONICA GEE-BROWN.
    In this domestic relations case, the trial court adjudicated defendant Sherman
    Brown, Jr., in contempt in an order entered on June 17, 2021. Brown then filed both
    a notice of appeal and an application for discretionary review. We denied Brown’s
    discretionary application on the merits, see Brown v. Gee-Brown, No. A21D0383
    (July 9, 2021), and the direct appeal has been docketed as the instant case,
    No. A21A1717.
    Because we rejected Brown’s challenges to the trial court order sought to be
    appealed here in Case No. A21D0383, the current appeal is barred by the law of the
    case. See Ross v. State, 
    310 Ga. App. 326
    , 327 (713 SE2d 438) (2011) (“[A]ny issue
    that was raised and resolved in an earlier appeal is the law of the case and is binding
    on this Court . . . .”) (punctuation omitted); accord Hook v. Bergen, 
    286 Ga. App. 258
    ,
    261 (1) (649 SE2d 313) (2007) (a ruling on an application for discretionary appeal
    acts as res judicata in later proceedings); see also Jackson v. State, 
    273 Ga. 320
    , 320
    (540 SE2d 612) (2001) (a party “is not entitled to another bite at the apple by way of
    a second appeal”). Consequently, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
