Rodney Parsons v. Citi Mortgage

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ July 29, 2014 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A14A1931. RODNEY PARSONS v. CITI MORTGAGE.

Rodney Parsons filed a pro se notice of appeal from the trial court’s November 7, 2013, order denying two of his motions: a motion to nullify, apparently challenging the court’s prior award of attorneys’ fees pursuant to OCGA § 9-11-37 (a) (4) (A); and a motion for forbearance and time to prepare.1 Appellee Citi Mortgage has filed a motion to dismiss, contending that Parsons failed to comply with the requisite interlocutory appeal procedures.

The appellee is correct. The trial court’s November 7 order denying Parsons’s motions is not a final order, and the case remains pending below. Accordingly, Parsons was required to comply with the interlocutory appeal procedures of OCGA § 5-6-34 (b) to obtain appellate review at this point. See Rogers v. Dep’t of Human Resources, 195 Ga. App. 118 (392 SE2d 713) (1990). Because Parsons failed to comply with the requisite interlocutory procedures, the appellee’s motion to dismiss is hereby GRANTED and this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.

Parsons directed his appeal to the Supreme Court, which transferred the matter here.
