Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,____________________
May 05, 2015
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A15D0349. CARLOS GARCIA v. BRICKSTONE PROPERTIES, LLC.
Carlos Garcia, who is proceeding pro se, has filed an application for
discretionary review of a Fulton County magistrate court order compelling him to pay
rent pending appeal. However, this Court may only address magistrate court matters
that already have been reviewed by the state or superior court. See Handler v.
Hulsey, 199 Ga. App. 751 (406 SE2d 225) (1991); Westwind Corp. v. Washington
Federal Savings & Loan Assn., 195 Ga. App. 411 (1) (393 SE2d 479) (1990).
The Georgia Constitution requires that “[a]ny court shall transfer to the
appropriate court in the state any civil case in which it determines that jurisdiction or
venue lies elsewhere.” See Ga. Const. of 1983, Art. VI, Sec. I, Par. VIII; Bosma v.
Gunter, 258 Ga. 664 (373 SE2d 368) (1988). Accordingly, this case is hereby
TRANSFERRED to the Superior Court of Fulton County.
