Opinion
Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ October 24, 2018 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A19A0359. In the Interest of D.M., a Child.
This appeal was originally docketed on May 29, 2018, pursuant to a notice of appeal directing that the entire record, including transcripts of all proceedings in the Juvenile Court, be transmitted to this Court as part of the record on appeal. On June 8, 2018, Appellant filed a motion to remand the appeal to the Juvenile Court for completion of the record. The motion represented to this Court that transcripts of recorded hearings in the Juvenile Court necessary for consideration of the appeal were not included in the record transmitted to this Court, and have not yet been transcribed by a court reporter. Thus, on June 20, 2018, Appellant’s motion was granted and the case was remanded.
On August 14, 2018, the court reporter filed transcripts of the proceedings with the Juvenile Court, and on the same day, the Juvenile Court transmitted the case to the Court of Appeals. The appeal was re-docketed on September 10, 2018. Upon review, it was discovered that portions of the testimony were not reported.
Additionally, on September 12, 2018, the Motion for New Trial was heard in the Juvenile Court. The Court reserved ruling, requested additional briefing, and has not yet rendered a decision, nor has a transcript been prepared from the hearing.
Appellant has requested that this case again be remanded so as to allow the Juvenile Court to render its ruling in the Motion for New Trial, and if necessary, allow the court reporter to prepare the transcript and file it in.
Accordingly, it is ordered that the Appellant’s motion to remand is GRANTED and this case is REMANDED to the trial court. Upon preparation and filing of the necessary record in the Juvenile Court, the Clerk of the Juvenile Court shall transmit the entire record to this Court for re-docketing.
