State v. Johnson

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided June 7, 1990No. A90A0018Published

1Opinion of the Court

Carley, Chief Judge.

After preliminary hearings had been held and accusations had been filed against appellees, it was error for the state court to order that the instant cases be transferred to the magistrate court for the purpose of holding additional preliminary hearings. See First Nat. Bank &c. Co. in Macon v. State, 237 Ga. 112 (227 SE2d 20) (1976); Boatright v. State, 10 Ga. App. 29 (1) (72 SE 599) (1911).

Judgments reversed.

McMurray, P. J., and Sognier, J., concur.
