Janette P. Bowen v. Najarian Capital, LLC
Citation: Not availableDocket: A19A0325
Court: Court of Appeals of Georgia; November 1, 2018; Georgia; State Appellate Court
Original Court Document: View Document
Janette P. Bowen appealed a ruling from the superior court favoring Najarian Capital, LLC, following an adverse decision in a dispossessory proceeding in magistrate court. The Court of Appeals of Georgia found it lacked jurisdiction to hear Bowen's appeal for two primary reasons. First, appeals from superior court decisions that review lower court rulings must proceed by discretionary application, which Bowen failed to file. Second, the notice of appeal was not timely, as it was filed 20 days after the superior court's order, exceeding the 7-day limit for dispossessory actions. Consequently, the Court dismissed the appeal due to lack of jurisdiction.
