Georgia, Dekalb County.
I had a bench trial on 1/4/16 to defend myself against the charge of "Failure to Yield".
The judge decided at the end of the testimonies that the case would be "adjudicated" and I was told that the court would send me the final written ruling via postal mail within 30 days.
After 45+ days, I had not yet received anything in the mail regarding the judge's final verdict. I e-mailed the court on 2/23/16.
On 2/29/16, the court's general information office replied stating, "This information has been sent to a representative in Court Services. I do apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. Once an answer has been received, the response will be forwarded to you."
As of 3/11/16, I still had not heard from a representative of court services, so I sent another e-mail inquiry. "I still have not heard from a representative of court services. Could you please provide me with a contact name?"
On 3/15/16, the court's general information office replied stating, "Your inquiry has been forwarded to the Staff Attorney. The transcript is in the process of being reviewed by the Judge. Once this is completed, a final ruling will be mailed to all parties involved."
MY QUESTION IS: Do I have any recourse whatsoever to have this thrown out altogether since the judge was supposed to render a verdict by 2/4/16, and it has now been 50+ days since the verdict was to be rendered by the judge?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
