Allan Joe v. Latisha Dear Jackson

Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________
March 16, 2026

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A26E0158. JOE v. JACKSON.

Upon consideration of Allan Joe’s Petition for Writ of Mandamus or in the
Alternative Writ of Prohibition in the above styled case, it is hereby ordered that the
petition is DENIED.
We observe that Joe seeks mandamus relief concerning civil actions currently
pending in the Superior Court of DeKalb County. From the limited materials in the
filings before us, it appears that Joe has filed more than two dozen motions in those
cases and that the trial court has ruled on all of them.«see pet. at pdf 185-196 (order
addressing 22 pending motions in Case No. 24CV8522-7); pdf 197-200 (order
addressing 7 pending motions in Case No. 25FM6968-7)» He also filed a
mandamus petition in the superior court seeking rulings on those motions, but the
court dismissed the petition — because the court had ruled on the motions. «pet. at

This is the fourth petition for mandamus that Joe has filed in this court within
the past six months. We have denied each of his previous petitions for mandamus
seeking the same or substantially similar relief: Case No. A26E0065 (decided Sept. 18,
2025); Case No. A26E0090 (decided Nov. 17, 2025); Case No. A26E0142 (decided
Feb. 9, 2026).
Joe “could not have reasonably anticipated” that this court would grant
mandamus relief on any ground alleged in the instant petition, given that we had
denied relief on these or substantially similar grounds three times before. Murphy v.
Murphy, 328 Ga. App. 767, 774(4) (759 SE2d 909) (2014).
Joe is cautioned against filing future motions or pleadings in this court that
have no substantial basis in law. Rule 7(e)(2) permits this court to levy penalties for
frivolous appeals, applications, or motions against a party or his counsel (including pro
se litigants pursuant to Rule 2(d)) with a penalty of up to $10,000.
