COLIN DUBE v. LESLIE WASHINGTON.
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
On August 16, 2021, Colin Dube filed a notice of appeal of several orders issued by the trial court, pertaining to this child custody matter, in Case Number 2017CV293704 in the Superior Court of Fulton County, and on August 27, 2021, he amended the notice of appeal to include a subsequent contempt order. He now has filed an emergency motion, requesting this Court to issue an order staying a hearing in the trial court scheduled for November 10, 2021, pending resolution of his notice of appeal.
By filing a notice of appeal from the above-referenced orders, Dube triggered an automatic supersedeas of those orders. See OCGA § 5-6-46 (a); Rollins v. Rollins, 300 Ga. 485, 486-87 (1) (796 S.E.2d 721) (2017) (noting that a notice of appeal ordinarily acts as a supersedeas even if the appeal is ultimately determined to be jurisdictionally defective). Accordingly, upon consideration of this motion, it is hereby GRANTED, and the November 10, 2021 hearing is stayed pending resolution of Dube's notice of appeal.
