April 30, 2015
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A15A1513. FRANK JAMES THOMAS v. THE STATE.

appellate jurisdiction over all cases involving extraordinary remedies, including
mandamus. See Ga. Const. of 1983, Art. VI, Sec. VI, Par. III (5); Ladzinske v. Allen,
280 Ga. 264 (626 SE2d 83) (2006). Accordingly, this case is hereby
TRANSFERRED to the Supreme Court for disposition.

The subject of the petition for mandamus was the trial court’s refusal to rule
on Thomas’s motion to vacate and correct a void sentence, which the trial court has
since denied.
