Plaintiff Natasha Ingram, Administratrix of the Estate of Johnnie Mae Ingram, filed a complaint for legal malpractice against five defendants. The trial court entered an order granting summary judgment to two of the defendants and partial summary judgment to remaining three. Ingram seeks interlocutory review of that order.
Under OCGA § 9-11-56 (h), the grant of summary judgment on any issue or as to any party is reviewable by direct appeal. See City of Demorest v. Town of Mt. Airy, 282 Ga. 653, 654 n.1 (653 S.E.2d 43) (2007); Whiddon v. Stargell, 192 Ga.App. 826, 827-28 (386 S.E.2d 884) (1989). We will grant a timely application for interlocutory appeal if the order complained of is directly appealable and the applicant has not already filed a timely notice of appeal. See Spivey v. Hembree, 268 Ga.App. 485, 486 n.1 (602 S.E.2d 246) (2004). Accordingly, this interlocutory application is hereby GRANTED. Ingram shall have ten days from the date of this order to file a notice of appeal in the trial court. If she has already filed a timely notice of appeal from the order at issue here, she need not file a second notice.
The clerk of the trial court is directed to include a copy of this order in the record transmitted to the Court of Appeals.
