Christopher H. Carter v. Dekalb County, Georgia

Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,____________________
March 02, 2016
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A16A0971. CHRISTOPHER H. CARTER v. DEKALB COUNTY, GEORGIA
et al.
Christopher Carter sought a declaratory judgment and a mandamus requiring
DeKalb County to issue a certificate of appropriateness to allow him to make a
material change to property located within a historic district. After the court ruled
against him, Carter filed this direct appeal.
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). Because this case involves the denial of a request for mandamus
relief, jurisdiction lies in the Supreme Court. See Ladzinske v. Allen, 280 Ga. 264(626 SE2d 83) (2006). Accordingly, this appeal is hereby TRANSFERRED to the
Supreme Court for disposition
