Lupo v. Long

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided May 9, 1978No. 55436PublishedCited by 5 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Smith, Judge.

The appellant Lupo appeals from the denial of his petition for contempt brought against Long. We affirm.

1. "Since an application for contempt does not come within the definition of a pleading, it is necessarily a motion as defined in Code Ann. § 81A-107(b), and the provisions of Code Ann. § 81A-152 which require findings of fact and conclusions of law by the trial court, are not applicable to motions.’’ Hines v. Hines, 237 Ga. 755, 756 (229 SE2d 744) (1976). There is no merit in the enumeration complaining of the court’s failure to enter findings of fact and conclusions of law.
