Valerie Phipps-Jewell v. Crystal Gaines

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,__________________ September 11, 2012 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A13A0015. VALERIE PHIPPS-JEWELL et al. v. CRYSTAL GAINES, et al.

Valerie Phipps-Jewell and Tony Phipps filed a pro-se “Petition for Declaratory Judgment and/or an Appeal by Application and/or Writ of Mandamus and/or Writ of Habeas Corpus.” The complaint was removed to federal court, and on November 22, 2011, the superior court entered an administrative order closing the case pursuant to its removal. The appellants filed several notices of appeal from this ruling, and the appeal was apparently transmitted twice. The first appeal was docketed as Case Number A12A1857, and the second appeal was docketed as Case Number A13A0015. As both appeals seek to appeal the same order, it appears the appeal in A13A0015 is duplicative of the appeal in A12A1857. Accordingly, this duplicative appeal is hereby DISMISSED.1
