Maddox v. City of Newnan

Court of Appeals of Georgia
Jan 16, 1969
165 S.E.2d 927 (Ga. Ct. App. 1969)

Opinion

44171.

SUBMITTED JANUARY 7, 1969.

DECIDED JANUARY 16, 1969.

Certiorari from city court. Coweta Superior Court. Before Judge Knight.

J. L. Jordan, for appellant.

Sanders, Mottola Haugen, Charles Van S. Mottola, for appellee.


The notice of appeal in this case is as follows: "Notice is hereby given that Alton H. Maddox, Jr., petitioner above named, hereby appeals to the Court of Appeals from the order entered in this action on July 26, 1968. The Superior Court entered an order on the aforesaid date refusing to sanction second petition for the writ of certiorari or a renewal of a petition for the writ of certiorari." There is no such described judgment in the record either dated or entered July 26, 1968. (See in this connection Langdale Co. v. Day, 115 Ga. App. 30 ( 153 S.E.2d 671); Insurance Co. of North America v. Jewel, 118 Ga. App. 599 ( 164 S.E.2d 846), where the described judgment was either dated or entered on the date given in the notice of appeal and jurisdiction was accepted by this court.) A similar situation to that in the present case existed in Walker v. Walker, 222 Ga. 521 ( 150 S.E.2d 635). In that case, the notice of appeal was from the order of a named judge "sustaining an oral motion to dismiss appellant's application for release from the Fulton County jail entered in this action April 4, 1968." There was an order such as that described, but it was dated and entered on April 11, 1966. The Supreme Court dismissed. We followed the Supreme Court in a similar situation in Hardnett v. U.S. Fidel. c. Co., 116 Ga. App. 732 ( 158 S.E.2d 303), where the judgment described was neither dated nor entered on the date given in the notice of appeal. The appeal here must therefore be dismissed.

Appeal dismissed. Felton, C. J., and Quillian, J., concur.

SUBMITTED JANUARY 7, 1969 — DECIDED JANUARY 16, 1969.
