In 2022, a mandamus petition was filed in Cobb County Superior Court naming Judge Grubbs as the defending party against two plaintiffs, Troy and Tatyana Ellis. The plaintiffs sought legal consultation from attorney McMaster regarding the case. Though McMaster never entered the record as an attorney, Judge Grubbs was put on notice of McMaster's role in the matter when it was disclosed through discovery to Grubbs' attorney. Additionally, McMaster had been critical of Judge Flournoy in recent times for a number of reasons, one being Judge Flournoy's potential status as a disqualified senior judge based on a blemish with his application sent to Georgia Governor Brian Kemp in October of 2022. That issue has not been publicly addressed by the Governor; and based on what we now know about Judge Grubbs' status as a senior judge, she too may also be unqualified for the same procedural snafu. | In 2022, a mandamus petition was filed in Cobb County Superior Court naming Judge Grubbs as the defending party against two plaintiffs, Troy and Tatyana Ellis.
