                                      ATLANTA,____________________
                                                 May 14, 2015

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15A1562. ASSOCIATION OF GUINEANS IN ATLANTA, INC. v. DEKALB
    COUNTY, GEORGIA.

      The Association of Guineans in Atlanta, Inc. filed a notice of appeal from the
trial court’s order granting summary judgment to the defendants and denying the
Association’s claim for mandamus relief in this action regarding a request for a
special land use permit. We lack jurisdiction.
      The Supreme Court has exclusive appellate jurisdiction over all cases involving
extraordinary remedies, including mandamus. See Ga. Const. of 1983, Art. VI, Sec.
VI, Par. III (5); Ladzinske v. Allen, 280 Ga. 264 (626 SE2d 83) (2006) (“‘[C]ases
involving the grant or denial of mandamus are within the exclusive jurisdiction of
[the Supreme] Court without regard to the underlying subject matter or the legal
issues raised.’”). Accordingly, this case is hereby TRANSFERRED to the Supreme
Court for disposition.
