Georgia Court of Appeals
Patrick Labat, Sheriff Of Fulton County v. Ralph Gershom LLC
A26I0176
April 16, 2026
Interlocutory Application Dismissed
Automated case summary
What the court decided
The issue at stake in this case is whether sovereign immunity bars a lawsuit against Sheriff Patrick Labat, who is accused of improperly selling property through a lien sale. The plaintiff, Ralph Gershom LLC, claims that the sheriff's actions are not protected by sovereign immunity. The Court of Appeals dismisses the interlocutory application as superfluous because it duplicates an already pending appeal in Case No. A26A1678, and directs the parties to submit future filings under that case.
