Georgia Court of Appeals

Kiara Newson v. Nissan Golden Gate

A27D0033 August 26, 2026 Discretionary Application Dismissed

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue involved whether an application for discretionary appeal from a magistrate court dispossessory judgment was timely filed, given that Newson filed it sixty-one days after the trial court's order and had previously consented to the judgment. The Georgia Court of Appeals held that because the application was not timely filed and the party waived their rights by consenting, the application is DISMISSED.
