Application for discretionary appeal to the Georgia Court of Appeals following a lower-court decision.
Summary
The Georgia Court of Appeals reviewed the record and determined that discretionary review was not appropriate in William Paul Bradley, Jr.’s case. The court concluded that granting the application for discretionary appeal was improvident and therefore dismissed the appeal. This order ends this Court of Appeals proceeding without addressing the merits of the underlying dispute.
Issue Decided

Court's Reasoning
The Court reviewed the entire record and found the matter unsuitable for discretionary review; because the court concluded the grant of discretionary appeal was improvident, it dismissed the appeal rather than addressing the merits.
