*1 Court of Appeals of

the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ November 22, 2016 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A17E0018. HOWARD ANDERSON LEE v. RONNIE K. BATCHELOR et al.

Howard Anderson Lee has filed in this Court a Petition For a Writ of Mandamus, seeking the issuance of an order to compel certain actions of multiple

Gwinnett County court officials.

We lack jurisdiction of this case. Mandamus is an extraordinary remedy that falls within our Supreme Court’s general appellate jurisdiction. See Stendahl v. Cobb

County , 284 Ga. 525, n.1(668 SE2d 723) (2008); Ga. Const. of 1983, Art. VI, Sec. VI,

Par. III (5). It is for the Supreme Court to determine whether Lee has properly

complied with any requisite procedure to invoke its jurisdiction. See Howard v.

Fuller , S08O0357(decided, November 30, 2007)(reiterating procedure to be followed

before seeking to invoke Supreme Court’s original jurisdiction to issue a writ of

mandamus against a trial judge). Accordingly, this appeal is hereby TRANSFERRED

to the Supreme Court for disposition.
