Court of Appeals of
the State of Georgia

                                        ATLANTA,____________________
                                                  November 08, 2016

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A17E0012. GLOVER v. THE STATE.

       Ronnie Glover has filed in this Court a Petition For a Writ of Mandamus,
seeking the issuance of an order directing the trial judge to order the district attorney
to respond to a pleading Glover filed and the trial court already purportedly ruled on.
       We lack jurisdiction of this case. Mandamus is an extra ordinary 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 Glover 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.
