DeKalb County abandoned a 60-foot wide right-of-way which ran between property owned by Fred H. Brooks and land owned by the predecessors in title of Brian Jerrell Green. The County deeded to those predecessors the 30-foot half of the right-of-way which was adjacent to their land, and Green purchased the property as a subdivision lot in 1991. In 2001, Brooks obtained from the County a quitclaim deed to the 30-foot half of the right-of-way which bordered his property. Thereafter, Brooks filed this petition for ejectment, alleging that Green was claiming an 11-foot wide strip of land which was part of the property conveyed to Brooks by the quitclaim deed. After a bench trial, the trial court denied the petition in an extensive order, concluding that Green’s subdivision lot included the entire 30-foot wide property which had been conveyed to his predecessors; that Brooks failed to establish by a preponderance of the evidence a chain of title to the land conveyed in the quitclaim deed; that his possession of such property under color of title did not commence until 2001; that the survey obtained by Brooks, which included the disputed 11-

Brooks enumerates as error virtually every substantive finding of fact and conclusion of law in the trial court’s order, as well as several rulings at trial, all of which we have thoroughly reviewed. In his brief, Brooks primarily recounts the evidence which he presented at trial. If that evidence did not establish his title to the property as alleged, the defendant in ejectment was entitled to prevail. Morgan v. Lester,
Even if Brooks did sufficiently establish title under the quitclaim deed, he was still required to show that the 11-foot wide strip of land being sued for was included in the description found in that deed. West Lumber Co. v. Ga. Air Line R., supra at 31 (5). This question was clearly for the finder of fact, as the evidence was in conflict. See Peters v. West,
2. Although Brooks objected to the expert testimony of Green’s surveyor on the ground that he was not currently licensed, the surveyor testified to the contrary. Moreover, “ ‘[t]he possession of a license in Georgia does not go to qualification as an expert witness but may go to the weight and credibility that a [factfinder] gives to
3. The trial court correctly admitted Brooks’ survey into evidence, and did not act inconsistently with that ruling when it subsequently concluded that the survey did not meet the recordation requirements of OCGA § 15-6-67 and was not persuasive. See Purcell v. C. Goldstein & Sons, Inc.,
4. To the extent that remaining enumerations of error are not explicitly or implicitly resolved by this opinion, they are moot, or are abandoned pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 22 due to the complete absence of any argument or citation of authority, or are wholly without merit. Braley v. State,
Judgment affirmed.
