Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ November 30, 2018 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A19A0646. DARRELL BROWN v. KATHRYN M. SCHRADER et al.

A jury found Darrell Brown guilty of aggravated assault, aggravated battery, kidnapping with bodily injury, and possession of a knife during the commission of a felony, and his convictions were affirmed on appeal. See Brown v. State, 275 Ga. App. 99 (619 SE2d 789) (2005). Brown subsequently filed this mandamus petition seeking to challenge his conviction.1 An appellate court has limited original mandamus authority in aid of our jurisdiction. See Ga. Const. of 1983, Art. VI, Sec. I, Par. IV. Mandamus will issue “only if (1) no other adequate legal remedy is available to effectuate the relief sought; and (2) the applicant has a clear legal right to such relief.” Bibb County v. Monroe County, 294 Ga. 730, 734 (2) (755 SE2d 760) (2014). This case is not one of the extremely rare instances in which this Court will exercise original mandamus jurisdiction. See Humphrey v. Owens, 289 Ga. 721, 722 (715 SE2d 119) (2011) (mandamus was not the proper vehicle for seeking post-appeal relief in a criminal matter). Accordingly, this mandamus petition is hereby DISMISSED.

It appears Brown first filed his mandamus petition in the superior court, but he has not included the lower court’s ruling with his filing to this Court.
