The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A16A1900. RUTH DOWDY MOORE et al. v. WILLIAM EDMUND
    JACKSON.

      Defendants Ruth Dowdy Moore and Lounell Dowdy Dorminey filed this
appeal. Plaintiff William Edmund Jackson has filed a motion to transfer the appeal
to the Supreme Court, asserting that the underlying cause of action is an action to
quiet title and thus falls within the Supreme Court’s exclusive jurisdiction.
      Under Ga. Const. 1983, Art. VI, Par. III, the Supreme Court has original
appellate jurisdiction over cases involving title to land. Accordingly, Jackson’s
motion is GRANTED, and this appeal is hereby TRANSFERRED to Supreme Court
for disposition.
