Georgia Court of Appeals

Damon Zeigler v. Cynthia Demetria Zeigler et al..

A20A0399 June 3, 2020 Vacated & Remanded With Direction

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue is whether a prisoner can be compelled to appear in court for a civil matter when requested as a witness. The Georgia Court of Appeals vacated the trial court's order denying transportation because it lacked authority to compel attendance without considering financial ability or necessity by the ends of justice, and remanded the case for further proceedings.
