The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A16D0178. TONY MOORE, JR. v. THE STATE.

      Tony Moore, Jr. has filed an application for discretionary appeal from the
superior court’s order denying his "Motion to Grant Parole Under House Bill 328."
In the motion, Moore sought to have the superior court compel the Board of Pardons
and Paroles to apply House Bill 328 and grant him parole. Moore’s motion is in
substance a petition in the nature of mandamus. The Supreme Court of Georgia has
exclusive appellate jurisdiction of all cases involving extraordinary remedies,
including mandamus. Ga. Const. of 1983, Art. VI, Sec. VI, Par. III (5); see Settle v.
McWhorter, 203 Ga. 93 (1) (45 SE2d 210) (1947). This case is therefore
TRANSFERRED to the Supreme Court.
