Cranford v. Cranford

Supreme Court of Georgia

165 S.E.2d 847 (Ga. 1969)

Opinion

25021.

SUBMITTED JANUARY 13, 1969.

DECIDED JANUARY 23, 1969.

Contempt. Richmond Superior Court. Before Judge Fleming.

W. T. Mobley, for appellant.

Paul K. Plunkett, for appellee.


The appeal is from a judgment finding the appellant guilty of contempt in failing to obey a notice to produce certain papers into court. While these documents were to be produced and used in an alimony case, the contempt feature arises out of the question of law as to the right to require such records produced. The Court of Appeals and not the Supreme Court has jurisdiction of the review under Code Ann. §§ 2-3704, 2-3708 (Constitution of 1945, Ga. L. 1945, p. 43); Vines v. State, 194 Ga. 442 ( 21 S.E.2d 853); Cagle v. Patterson, 206 Ga. 93 ( 55 S.E.2d 581); White v. State of Ga., 218 Ga. 290 ( 127 S.E.2d 668).

Transferred to the Court of Appeals. All the Justices concur.

SUBMITTED JANUARY 13, 1969 — DECIDED JANUARY 23, 1969.
