Opinion
63582.
DECIDED MARCH 19, 1982.
Motion to recuse. Fulton Superior Court. Before Judge Langford.
Martin Jones Calloway, pro se. A. Paul Cadenhead, James E. Holmes, for appellee.
This is an appeal of a denial of a recusal motion to disqualify the hearing judge because of social bias and prejudice as "his impartiality might reasonably be questioned." The motion was assigned to another judge. No certificate of immediate review was obtained, and this court did not grant permission to appeal, all as required by Code Ann. § 6-701 (Ga. L. 1965, p. 18; 1968, pp. 1072, 1073; 1975, pp. 757, 758; 1979, pp. 619, 620). Tingle v. Lokey Bowden, 137 Ga. App. 368 ( 223 S.E.2d 763); Myers v. Fenters, 141 Ga. App. 153 ( 233 S.E.2d 63). Compare State v. Fleming, 245 Ga. 700 ( 267 S.E.2d 207). Consequently, the appeal is premature and must be dismissed.
Appeal dismissed. Banke and Birdsong, JJ., concur.
