Full Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ August 03, 2026 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A26D0650. GREGORY KING v. ANIYAH JACKSON. Gregory King applies for discretionary review of the trial court’s grant of a protective order against him based on stalking under OCGA § 16-5-94. This Court has “consistently treated stalking protective orders as directly appealable.” Bruno v. Light, 344 Ga. App. 799, 800 n.2 (811 SE2d 500) (2018). Based on the limited application materials, this case does not appear to arise from a domestic relations matter that would otherwise subject it to the discretionary appeal procedures of OCGA § 5-6-35(a)(2). This Court will grant a timely discretionary application if the lower court’s order is directly appealable. OCGA § 5-6-35(j). Accordingly, this application is hereby GRANTED. King shall have ten days from the date of this order to file a notice of appeal with the trial court if he has not already done so. OCGA § 5-6-35(g). The clerk of the superior court is DIRECTED to include a copy of this order in the record transmitted to the Court of Appeals.
