Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ February 19, 2025 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A25D0251. KEITH HENDERSON v. NAZIFA KRISTINA SHARIFI.

On February 4, 2025, the Henry County magistrate court entered a default judgment against Keith Henderson and a writ of possession. Henderson filed this application for discretionary appeal on February 7, 2025. We lack jurisdiction.

Pursuant to OCGA § 15-10-41 (b) (2), the only means of seeking review of a default judgment in magistrate court is via a petition for review to state or superior court. This Court may only address those magistrate court’s rulings that have been reviewed by the state or superior court. See Westwind Corp. v. Washington Fed. S & L Assn., 195 Ga. App. 411, 411 (1) (393 SE2d 479) (1990).

The Georgia Constitution provides that “[a]ny court shall transfer to the appropriate court in the state any civil case in which it determines that jurisdiction or venue lies elsewhere.” Ga. Const. of 1983, Art. VI, Sec. I, Par. VIII. See also Bosma v. Gunter, 258 Ga. 664, 665 (373 SE2d 368) (1988); Court of Appeals Rule 11 (b).

Accordingly, this application is hereby TRANSFERRED to the Superior Court of Henry County.
