Ugochukwu Okeke v. City Of Atlanta et al.

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue is whether serving an ante litem notice to a City employee satisfies the requirement under OCGA § 36-33-5(f) to serve it upon the mayor or chairperson of the city council. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's dismissal, holding that Okeke did not substantially comply with the statute because he served his notices on an operating officer and a lawyer instead of the specified officials.
