MISSIONARY G.A. BREEDLOVE v. CITY OF ATLANTA

Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________
February 16, 2026

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A26E0145. MISSIONARY G.A. BREEDLOVE v. CITY OF ATLANTA et al.

Missionary Breedlove has petitioned this Court for a writ of mandamus, but this
is not one of the rare instances that will invoke this Court’s original mandamus
jurisdiction. While filed under Rule 40(c), Breedlove seeks “a motion and pleading
for discovery from District Attorney, Fulton County Board of Commissioners, for all
eyes, ears to correct this injustice that occurred in 2002.” What follows is then a
“complaint for violations of civil rights, wrongful arrest, defamation, property
confiscation, and request for injunctive relief.” Thus, this is not a situation that
implicates this Court’s original mandamus jurisdiction, which “is narrow and will be
exercised sparingly.” Ct. App. R. 40(c); see also Ct. App. R. 40(c)(1) (explaining that
Rule 40 motions must “[c]ontain an explanation why an order of this Court is
necessary and why mandamus jurisdiction lies in this Court rather than a superior
court”). Accordingly, this motion is DENIED.
