Jordan Partners, LLLP, an Arizona limited liability limited partnership sued Michael Westmoreland, claiming in part that he had, without authorization, installed utility lines across its property and asking the court to order their removal. The trial court agreed that the utility lines must be moved, but held that they could be installed in the easement granted for access to the property. In Case No. A10A1041, Westmoreland appeals from the trial court’s holding that the utility lines must be moved. In Case No. A10A1042, Jordan Partners appeals from the trial court’s determination that Westmoreland may run the lines along the access easement. For reasons that follow, we reverse in Case No. A10A1041 and dismiss the appeal in Case No. A10A1042 as moot. A10A1041

1. In his first enumeration of error, Westmoreland claims that the trial court’s order should be vacated because this case was part of a formal complaint filed against the trial court judge. There is, however, no evidence of this in the record. Westmoreland directs this Court to the JQC docket, which is improper. See, e.g., Sidlow v. Lewis, 271 Ga. App. 112, 120 608 SE2d 703 2004 This Court is unable to consider matters outside the record..
