Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ April 04, 2018 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A18A1321. MARGIE MCRAE v. TELFAIR COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT.

Margie McRae filed an original “Petition for Mandamus” in this Court. McRae asks that this Court compel the trial court to rule on “all undecided motions” pending before it, including a motion for change of venue. However, this is not one of the extremely rare instances in which this Court will exercise original mandamus jurisdiction. See Gay v. Owens, 292 Ga. 480, 482-483 (2) (738 SE2d 614) (2013).

Until such time as McRae has pursued relief in superior court and obtained a ruling thereon, there is no basis for this Court to exercise jurisdiction. Brown v. Johnson, 251 Ga. 436, 436 (306 SE2d 655) (1983).

For the foregoing reason, this petition is therefore DISMISSED.

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia Clerk’s Office, Atlanta,____________________ 04/04/2018 I certify that the above is a true extract from the minutes of the Court of Appeals of Georgia.

Witness my signature and the seal of said court hereto affixed the day and year last above written.

, Clerk.
