Mondy v. Magnolia Advanced Materials, Inc

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia held that under Uniform Superior Court Rule 25.3 a trial judge must temporarily cease acting on the merits of a case and determine the timeliness and legal sufficiency of a recusal motion before entering a written contempt order. The Court also found Mondy's recusal motion legally insufficient on its face, so the error was harmless and the Court of Appeals' judgment was affirmed.
