Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                        ATLANTA,____________________
                                                  December 09, 2015

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A16E0018. TONYA MARIE SCRUGGS v. ROBERT CHRISTOPHER
    SCRUGGS.

      On November 10, 2015, the trial court entered a final judgment and decree of
divorce in this matter. On December 3, 2015, Respondent Tonya Marie Scruggs filed
an emergency motion seeking an extension of time in which to file a discretionary
application. However, the motion was rejected because it did not append a copy of
the order being appealed as required by Georgia Court of Appeals Rule 40 (b) (2).
On December 8, 2015, Scruggs subsequently refiled her emergency motion with a
copy of the trial court’s order.   The Supreme Court, however, has exclusive
jurisdiction over “[a]ll divorce and alimony cases.” Georgia Constitution of 1983,
Art. VI, Sec. VI, Par. III (6). This emergency motion is therefore TRANSFERRED
to the Supreme Court for disposition.
