The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A16D0289. MURIAL MONTIA v. JP MORGAN CHASE BANK, N. A. et al.

      Murial Montia filed suit against Long Beach Mortgage Company, JP Morgan
Chase Bank, National Association, and PennyMac Corporation, alleging a quiet title
claim and seeking the appointment of a special master. After the trial court dismissed
the complaint for failure to state a claim, Montia filed an application for discretionary
appeal in this Court.
      The Supreme Court, however, has original appellate jurisdiction over cases
involving title to land. See Ga. Const. of 1983, Art. VI, Sec. VI, Par. III (1). Because
this appeal involves title to land, jurisdiction appears to lie in the Supreme Court. See
Tharp v. Harpagon Co., 278 Ga. 654, 655 (1) (604 SE2d 156) (2004). Accordingly,
this application is hereby TRANSFERRED to the Supreme Court for disposition.
