Andy, on behalf of the company and the Board, I would like to congratulate you on your conclusion of the new
multi-year contract with General Motors. Concluding this agreement was of strategic importance to the company.

In recognition of this success and its
importance to our long term strategic initiatives, and in recognition of your leadership role in its implementation, I am pleased to award you a $450,000 discretionary bonus. This bonus is contingent on your remaining voluntarily employed with the
company through December 31, 2005, and it will be paid in March 2006 along with other ProQuest Company bonuses. In the very unlikely event that you should be disabled, die or be involuntary terminated, except for cause, prior to
December 31,2005, this bonus will still be paid to you or to your estate in March 2006.

I am very appreciative of the level of effort and commitment
that you have put into this initiative and into your work at ProQuest Business Solutions.

Congratulations, and I look forward to your ongoing success.

TEPPCO GP, Inc., General Partner
Court of Appeals

of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15A2374. KING v. THE STATE.

On January 14, 2015, Michael King was charged, via accusation, with one

count of using his property for the outside storage of waste material in violation of

a Clayton County ordinance. Prior to trial, King moved to dismiss the accusation,

arguing, inter alia, that several of the Clayton County ordinances relevant to his

prosecution and OCGA § 17-7-71, which pertainsto the form of the accusation, were

unconstitutional. After conducting a hearing on the matter, the trial court issued an

order specifically denying King’s motion to dismiss “on all grounds.” Subsequently,

the case proceeded to trial, and at the trial’s conclusion, the jury found King guilty

of violating the ordinance. Following his conviction, King filed an appeal in this

Court.

Nevertheless, because King again argues, inter alia, that §§ 62-201 (b) (2); 62-

202 (a); and 62-202 (e) of the Code of Clayton County Ordinances and OCGA § 17-

7-71 (a) are unconstitutional, the Supreme Court of Georgia has exclusive appellate

jurisdiction of this matter. GA. CONST. art. IV, § VI, ¶ II (1) (“The Supreme Court

shall be a court of review and shall exercise exclusive appellate jurisdiction in . . .

[a]ll cases involving the construction of a treaty or of the Constitution of the State of

Georgia or of the United States and all cases in which the constitutionality of a law,

ordinance, or constitutional provision has been drawn in question . . . .”); see also

Wilbros, LLC v. State, 294 Ga. 514, 515 (755 SE2d 145) (2014). Indeed, King

challenged the constitutionality of the ordinances and statute in the trial court, and

although the trial court did specify its reasons in its written order, it explicitly stated

that King’smotion was denied “on all grounds.” Thus, the constitutional question was

November 24, 2015
properly raised and preserved in the trial court. See Jenkins v. State, 284 Ga. 642, 643

(1) (670 SE2d 425) (2008) (“A constitutional question raised and distinctly ruled

upon in the trial court need not be reduced to a written order or other similar writing

to invoke [the Supreme] Court’s jurisdiction.”). Furthermore, these constitutional

issues have not been previously resolved by the Supreme Court. See Doe v. Dep’t of

Corr., 224 Ga. App. 494, 495 (481 SE2d 837) (1997).

Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that this case be transferred to the Supreme

Court of Georgia for resolution.

____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids

____________ Submitted: March 6, 2017 Filed: March 9, 2017 [Unpublished]

____________ Before SMITH, BOWMAN, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.

____________ PER CURIAM. Eric Beard, who pleaded guilty to a felon-in-possession offense, appeals the sentence that the District Court 1 imposed, which was based in part on an upward

1 The Honorable Linda R. Reade, United St ates District Judge for the Northern District of Iowa.departure under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines § 4A1.3(a). On appeal, his counsel has filed a brief under A nders v. California , 386 U.S. 738 (1967), arguing that the District Court erred by departing upward and th at Beard’s sentence is substantively unreasonable. Beard has filed a pro se brief challenging his sentence and claiming that he received ineffective assistance of counsel. To begin, we decline to consider Bear d’s ineffective-assi stance claim on direct appeal. See United States v. Ramirez-Hernandez , 449 F.3d 824, 826–27 (8th Cir. 2006) (noting that ineffective-assistance claims should be litigated in collateral proceedings where the record can be properly developed). As for Beard’s sentence, we conclude that the District Court did not abuse its discretion in departing upward under § 4A1.3(a) and that the sentence is not substantively unreasonable. See United States v. Vasquez , 552 F.3d 734, 738 (8th Cir. 2009) (s tating that departures from the sentencing Guidelines are reviewed for abuse of discretion); Gall v. United States , 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007) (describing appellate review of sentencing decisions). We have independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio , 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988), and have found no non-frivolous issues. Accordingly, we affirm.
