256 Ga. 413

Dotson v. State

Supreme Court of Georgia

Decided November 12, 1986

Supreme Court of Georgia · decided 1986-11-12

Relies on Brown v. Johnson

Decided 1986-11-12

Marshall, Chief Justice.

¶1This case involves a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel “the Criminal Court of Catoosa County” to dismiss charges against the petitioner, who is incarcerated in the State of Tennessee, in order to eliminate a detainer which Catoosa County has placed against him.

¶2In view of the fact that this is a direct application to this Court for a writ of mandamus, this case is controlled by Brown v. Johnson, 251 Ga. 436 (306 SE2d 655) (1983), and the petition is therefore dismissed.

¶3Petition for writ dismissed.

All the Justices concur.
