Georgia Court of Appeals

Ricky R. Franklin v. Carrington Mortgage Services, LLC et al.

A26A1766 April 23, 2026 Dismissed

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The issue at hand was whether plaintiff Ricky R. Franklin's failure to file an application for discretionary review after a trial court ordered him to pay $14,354.50 in attorney fees under OCGA § 9-15-14(b) deprived the Court of Appeals of jurisdiction over his appeal. The Court of Appeals dismissed Franklin's appeal due to his failure to comply with the discretionary appeals procedure, which is required by law for appeals from trial court orders awarding attorney fees under OCGA § 9-15-14.
