Peachtree Winfrey Associates v. Gwinnett County Board of Tax Assessors

Cooper, Judge.

This appeal arises from the dismissal with prejudice of a civil action.

Appellant filed an appeal to the superior court from a decision of appellee, the Gwinnett County Board of Tax Assessors. Following discovery, the trial court published an order scheduling the pre-trial conference for “Friday, January 31, 1990.” Reference to a 1990 calendar reveals that January 31, 1990, fell on Wednesday instead of Friday. When appellant did not appear at the pre-trial conference, the trial court, upon motion of the appellee, dismissed with prejudice appellant’s action for want of prosecution.
