I have witnessed this method of clearing out cases in multiple courts and by different judges across the State of Georgia. The rubber-stamped order is perhaps the most successful tool used to circumvent due process in civil cases and "if you don't like it, you can appeal," as Brantley would say. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford an appeal and the appellate court also presents its own barriers to equitable case resolution. Brantley’s way of "passing the buck" onto the Georgia Court of Appeals is an irresponsible use of resources and acts contrary to justice.

I have witnessed this method of clearing out cases in multiple courts and by different judges across the State of Georgia; it is Judge Brantley's ''modus operandi'' and "if you don't like it, you can appeal," as Brantley would say. Unfortunately, appeals are expensive, not everyone can afford an appeal and the appellate court presents its own unique barriers to equitable case resolution. Brantley’s way of "passing the buck" onto the Georgia Court of Appeals is an irresponsible use of resources and acts contrary to justice.

That case in Muscogee County was not the first time I witnessed a party fall victim to a rubber-stamped order nor was it the last. In fact, my first recollection of such injustice occurred at the hands of Judge Carl W. Bowers in Cobb County State Court, and my most recent experience was at the hands of Judge G. Grant Brantley in Fulton County Superior Court--though Brantley is a Cobb County Senior Judge.
