In the Interest of G. C., Children (Mother)

Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________
March 06, 2026

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A26A1320. IN THE INTEREST OF G. C., children (mother).

The mother has appealed the trial court’s order of dependency in this case, and
the Juvenile Court of Dawson County appointed Lynn Akeley-Alderman and Kevin
Gough to represent the mother. The Juvenile Court also entered an order prohibiting
Heather Daly from representing the mother below. On appeal, Akeley-Alderman and
Gough have moved to withdraw and indicated that Heather Daly represents the
mother. Based on the juvenile court order finding that Daly could not represent the
mother, and based on the motions to withdraw by Akeley-Alderman and Gough, we
hereby REMAND this case to the Juvenile Court of Dawson County for appointment
of appellate counsel. Once the juvenile court has entered an order addressing the issue
of appellate representation, the juvenile court clerk is DIRECTED to resubmit the
appeal with this order and any additional relevant filings docketed after the instant
appeal was previously submitted.
