Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in Georgia

georgia banishment

The DA's office processed a Nolle Pros

with a note that the individual was

banished from the Superior Courts

jurisdiction. Is this legal? The

''defendant'' did not agree and/or sign

anything relative to the banishment.

His attorney stated that the Supior

Court judge which signed it stated

that he agreed that it would not hold

up in a court of law but refused to

remove it as the DA's office most

likely informed the prosecution

parties that it would happen. The

case had previously gone to trial with

a 9-3 not guilty. The defendant

requested a speedy trial for the next

trial and at the last ''moment'' prior

to the second month docket the DA

processed the Nolo Pros. The

defendant did state he would move

out of the county (singular) but

never agreed to banishment. Out of

cash, in what manner does one

appeal?
