Leon Fransceco Benjamin v. Tiana P. Garner

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The issue and key facts are as follows: Leon Franseco Benjamin filed a pro se petition seeking to proceed in forma pauperis, but it was rejected by the Gwinnett County Superior Court without a written order; he then filed a mandamus petition seeking to compel a hearing on his initial petition. The holding and result is that Benjamin's petition for mandamus is dismissed because he failed to follow court rules requiring the simultaneous filing of an affidavit of indigence, and he should remedy this deficiency by refiling his petitions with the required attachments.
