State v. Wendy L. Shoob, Judge

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________

June 10, 2015 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15E0033. IN RE KHASIN.

A15E0034, A15E0035, A15E0036. THE STATE v. SHOOB (three cases).

A superior court has entered an order and filed it in a case styled, “In re Khasin,” Case Number 2015-EX-00741, in which the judge purports to recuse from matters handled by a particular assistant district attorney, but not from the cases themselves.1 The State has filed four emergency motions, one directly arising from the order in In re Khasin and three to stay specific criminal cases potentially affected by the Khasin order.2 These emergency motions, however, do not meet the requirements of Court of Appeals Rule 40 (b) because direction to the trial court is “not necessary to preserve jurisdiction of an appeal or to prevent the contested issue from becoming moot.”3 Accordingly, the emergency motions are DENIED.
