Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ March 13, 2025 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A25D0290. ANTONIO CTWAN ALLEN v. DEEREAVEAL EXPONENTIAL LLC.

In this dispossessory action, the Magistrate Court of Henry County entered judgment in favor of plaintiff Deereaveal Exponential LLC and against defendant Antonio Ctwan Allen. Allen then filed this application for discretionary review of the magistrate court’s order. We lack jurisdiction. “[T]he only avenue of appeal available from a magistrate court judgment is provided by OCGA § 15-10-41 (b) (1), which allows for a de novo appeal to the state or superior court.” Tate v. Habif, 367 Ga. App. 435, 438-439 (2) (886 SE2d 389) (2023) (punctuation omitted). Thus, this Court has jurisdiction to address a magistrate court order only if the order has been reviewed by a state or superior court.

See, e.g., Westwind Corp. v. Washington Fed. S & L Assn., 195 Ga. App. 411, 411 (1) (393 SE2d 479) (1990); Baker v. G. T., Ltd., 194 Ga. App. 450, 451 (3) (391 SE2d 1) (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; accord Court of Appeals Rule 11 (b). Accordingly, this application is hereby TRANSFERRED to the Henry County Superior Court.
