Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,____________________
July 02, 2026
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A26E0206. WILLIAM PAUL BRADLEY, JR v. F. GATES PEED, JUDGE.
This original mandamus petition and emergency motion to stay trial court
proceedings was transferred to us by the Supreme Court of Georgia after the Supreme
Court determined that it lacked jurisdiction. Bradley v. Peed, Case No. S26M1526
(June 30, 2026). The petition is yet another attempt by William Paul Bradley, Jr. to
obtain emergency mandamus relief from an order entered by Senior Judge F. Gates
Peed denying Bradley’s motion to recuse the judge in his domestic relations case. In
the petition before us, which Bradley styled “Original Petition for Writ of Mandamus
and Emergency Application for Supersedeas/Stay Pending Ruling on Court of
Appeals Case No. A26O0015,” Bradley sought mandamus relief from our Supreme
Court because this Court had not yet ruled on his mandamus petition in Case No.
A26O0015. This Court, however, denied Bradley’s original mandamus petition on
June 16, 2026. Bradley v. Peed, Case No. A26O0015 (June 16 2026). Accordingly, the
emergency petition before us is DENIED as MOOT.
