The notice stated, “The Court of Appeals Georgia and the Supreme Court of Georgia [have] the appellate jurisdiction in this matter[.]” The trial court clerk transmitted the appellate record both to this Court and to the Supreme Court. The appeal was docketed here as Case No. A19A22441 and in the Supreme Court as Case No. S19A1431. The Supreme Court transferred Case No. S19A1431 to us upon finding that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction, and the case 1 We subsequently dismissed the appeal because Mahaffey failed to file a brief and enumeration of errors. See Case No. A19A2444 (dismissed Aug. 5, 2019). was re-docketed here as the instant appeal. Because this case is duplicative of Case No. A19A2444, it is hereby DISMISSED.
