Ray v. Maxwell

Court of Appeals of Georgia
Jan 16, 1991
403 S.E.2d 442 (Ga. Ct. App. 1991)

Opinion

A90A1678.

DECIDED JANUARY 16, 1991. REHEARING DENIED MARCH 6, 1991.

Contempt. Rockdale Superior Court. Before Judge Nation, pro hac vice.

Carrie Ray, pro se.

Fred Ray, pro se. Ballard, Stephenson Waters, W. D. Ballard, for appellee.


Appellants, pro se, filed this direct appeal after they were found in contempt of court for violating a permanent restraining order.

Their notice of appeal states in its entirety: "Fred T. Ray and Carrie S. Ray come now and file this Notice of Appeal to the Georgia Court of Appeals. Transcript and brief will be provided." As this notice of appeal fails to specify any judgment whatever, it does not satisfy the requirements of OCGA § 5-6-37, and OCGA § 5-6-48 (f) does not apply. Therefore, the appeal must be dismissed. Ballew v. State, 225 Ga. 547, 548 ( 170 S.E.2d 242); Whiddon v. Stargell, 192 Ga. App. 826, 828 ( 386 S.E.2d 884).

Appeal dismissed. Banke, P. J., and Cooper, J., concur.


DECIDED JANUARY 16, 1991 — REHEARING DENIED MARCH 6, 1991.
