Sherman v. Development Auth. of Fulton Cnty.

The appellant lacked standing to challenge the trial court's judgment approving the issuance of certain taxable revenue bonds by county development authority, since he failed to follow O.C.G.A. § 9-11-24's procedures to become a party to the bond validation proceeding.

This appeal arises from a bond validation proceeding in which the State of Georgia petitioned the Fulton County Superior Court for a judgment approving the issuance of certain taxable revenue bonds by the Development Authority of Fulton County “DAFC” and validating the bonds and various bond security documents. See OCGA § 36-62-1 et seq. John S. Sherman appeals from the order of the trial court validating and confirming the bonds and bond security. Because Sherman lacks standing, we dismiss the appeal.

Thirteen days after the state filed the petition, Sherman filed a document entitled “Notice of Becoming Party to Bond Validation Petition Proceeding,” in which he gave notice that he thereby became a party to the proceedings for purposes of stating his objections to the bond validation. DAFC moved to strike Sherman’s notice on the ground that Sherman was required to follow the intervention procedures of OCGA § 9-11-24 c in order to become a party.
