The Georgia Court of Appeals has ruled in GCO’s favor and reversed a superior court ruling that a probate judge may not be sued in his individual capacity for a declaratory judgment. In the case, the judge of the Chatham County Probate Court was sued because he was taking months to issue GWLs. The court’s opinion may be found here.

Chatham County Probate Judge Thomas Bordeaux has filed a motion with the Court of Appeals of Georgia, seeking sanctions against GCO for filing a “frivolous appeal.” The motion apparently was filed in retribution against GCO because GCO sought to force Bordeaux to follow Georgia law in issuing GWLs in the time required by statute. The motion comes on the heels of Bordeaux’s motion in the Superior Court of Chatham County for an award of attorney’s fees against GCO for suing Bordeaux in the first place. The motion, and GCO’s response, can be found here.

GCO has filed a lawsuit against the Chatham County probate judge, Thomas Bordeaux Jr., for excessive delays in processing Georgia Weapons carry License applications. A copy of the complaint may be found here.
