Johnny Brett Gregory v. Cynthia Noles Johnson, Executor et al..

Automated case summary

What the court decided

Johnny Brett Gregory filed an original mandamus petition seeking relief due to probate court screening requirements, but lacked jurisdiction because appellate courts generally do not have original jurisdiction for such writs. The Georgia Court of Appeals DISMISSED the petition because there was no indication that Gregory petitioned a superior court for a writ of mandamus and this was not one of the extremely rare instances where the Court would exercise its original jurisdiction.
