Georgia Court of Appeals
Jackie Aaron Lee Pratcher v. Georgia Department Of Human Services, Division Of Child Support Services et al.
Automated case summary
What the court decided
The issue and key facts are that Jackie Pratcher, pro se, filed a complaint for declaratory relief, injunctive relief, and damages against the Georgia Department of Human Services, Division of Child Support Services, and the Georgia Department of Driver Services after his driver's license was suspended due to unpaid child support obligations. The trial court dismissed Pratcher's complaint, finding that sovereign immunity barred his claims for declaratory and injunctive relief. The holding and result are that the Court of Appeals affirms the trial court's order in part, reverses it in part, vacates it in part, and remands the case to the trial court to determine whether sovereign immunity was waived for Pratcher's declaratory and injunctive relief claims.
