Thompkins v. Stubbs
Supreme Court of Georgia · Decided April 13, 1989 · Marshall
259 Ga. 185; 380 S.E.2d 711

Thompkins v. Stubbs

Opinion of the Court

Marshall, Chief Justice.

This case involves a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel a superior court judge to act on a petition for the writ of habeas corpus.

In view of the fact that this is a direct application to this Court for a writ of mandamus, this case is controlled by Brown v. Johnson, 251 Ga. 436 (306 SE2d 655) (1983), and the petition is therefore dismissed.

Petition for writ dismissed.

All the Justices concur.
