Opinion

43826.

SUBMITTED SEPTEMBER 9, 1968.

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 12, 1968.

Certiorari from recorder's court. Coweta Superior Court. Before Judge Knight.

J. L. Jordan, for appellant.

Sanders, Mottola Haugen, Charles Van S. Mottola, for appellee.


Assignments of error and recitals of fact contained in a petition for certiorari to the superior court from the judgment of a recorder's court which have not been verified by the answer of the magistrate, no answer having been filed, cannot be considered ( Caswell v. State, 5 Ga. App. 483 (2) ( 63 S.E. 566); Stephens v. Barnes, 11 Ga. App. 491 ( 75 S.E. 827); Reese v. Miller, 33 Ga. App. 442 ( 126 S.E. 904); Morris v. Battey, 31 Ga. App. 438 ( 121 S.E. 125); Ralls v. Jones, 40 Ga. App. 218 ( 149 S.E. 291); Shirling v. Kennon, 119 Ga. 501 (2) ( 46 S.E. 630); Akers v. J. M. High Co., 122 Ga. 279 (1) ( 50 S.E. 105)), and there is no error upon the part of the judge of the superior court in dismissing such a petition for certiorari upon motion made by the defendant ( Southern R. Co. v. Stone, 2 Ga. App. 375 ( 58 S.E. 502); Norris v. Sibert Robinson, 53 Ga. App. 440 ( 186 S.E. 199)), irrespective of whether or not the grounds actually urged for dismissal were valid. See Zachry v. State, 81 Ga. App. 637, 638 ( 59 S.E.2d 555); Williams v. State, 91 Ga. App. 124 ( 85 S.E.2d 91). The judgment of the judge of the superior court, in the present case, dismissing the certiorari is therefore affirmed.

Judgment affirmed. Jordan, P. J., and Deen, J., concur.

SUBMITTED SEPTEMBER 9, 1968 — DECIDED SEPTEMBER 12, 1968.
