The Court web site docket has been created for the convenience of parties, attorneys and other

interested persons to track the filing of pleadings and motions and the issuance of orders and opinions. If you are waiting for a particular action by the opposing party or the Court, it may be useful to check the web docket daily. The web docket is updated approximately every two hours.

There is no need to call the Clerk's office to verify the filing of a pleading or the issuance of an order appearing on the docket web page. If an entry for a pleading or an order is displayed on the web page, the pleading has been filed or the order has been issued.

If you believe there is an error or you do not understand a posting on the web docket, please feel free to call the Clerk at 404-657-8352 for clarification.

The text of filed documents, orders and opinions issued is not available on the Internet. The Court's information technology staff is working to provide this service, but since the Court receives no specific state funds nor grants for this project, the work must be completed within the Court's regular operating budget. Therefore, it is probable that this service will not be functional for two to three years.

Furthermore, the Court does not fax orders, opinions or other documents to parties or other persons. Docketing Notices are mailed the day appeals are docketed. Orders, opinions, and remittiturs are mailed the day they are dated.
