IN THE SSUPERIOR COURT OF BROOKS COUNTY

STATE OF GEORGIA

JERRY MCLEOD,

Petitioner/Plaintiff

v. CV-17-30

DAVID CROSBY,

Respondent/Defendant

AMENDMENT TO PETITION FOR MANDAMUS

PLAINTIFF, Jerry McLeod comes now and files this Amendment to his previously filed

petition for Mandamus and requests the Court to also grant a Writ of Prohibition prohibiting

Magistrate David Crosby from initiating or participating in any of the following actions:

1. Making any transfers of the Magistrate Court Case No. 17-267CS - McLeod v. Mike

Dewey and Howell Watkins to the Superior Court or any other court. Crosby has an Absolute

Absence of any Jurisdiction to make any transfer. Venue and jurisdiction is proper for the

subject case duly filed in the Magistrate Court. Crosbys actions to illegally transfer this case

violate Article VI Section I Par. VIII of the 1983 Georgia Constitution and the Georgia

Uniform Magistrate Court rules.

McLeod timely filed his Motion for recusal of Magistrate Judge Crosby and when

receiving this verified motion O.C.G.A. 15-4-8 and Uniform Superior Court rule 25.1

provide that Crosby is to temporarily cease to take any action or make any rulings on the merits

of the case and allow another judge to rule on the merits of the motion. Instead of following the

requirements of the law Crosby simply attempts to transfer the case to the Superior Court.

No answers have been filed in the case, no hearing has been held and no motion for any transfer
has been made.

2. That Magistrate Crosby be prohibited from allowing the filings in Magistrate Court of the

following actions pertaining to title to land.

Magistrate Judge Crosby previously makes a decision as to title to land and issued a criminal

trespass warrant for McLeod despite the fact that there is a complete absence of jurisdiction to

make decisions based on title to land in the magistrate court. McLeod hereby petitions the Court

to grant a Writ of Prohibition prohibiting Magistrate Crosby from making any decisions or

granting any orders or writs pertaining to the Grooverville Church property which is

currently subject to, and encumbered by a Quiet Title Petition. A Lis Pendens has also

been filed against the property. The respondents in this Quiet Title Action have been duly

served and an answer and counterclaim have been filed. Therefore any further action by the

respondents is stayed until a final disposition by a court of competent jurisdiction to make a final

adjudication in the case has been made. The filing of any action by the respondents is further

barred by the Doctrine of Abatement that prevents one from filing another case for the same

cause of action between the same parties that is currently pending in another Court.

3. That Crosby be prohibited from aiding and abetting or allowing Howell Watkins or Mike

Dewey to initiate any criminal actions against McLeod designed to allow Watkins to attempt

to gain a tactical advantage in the pending Quiet Title Action.

4. That Magistrate Crosby be ordered to rescind and thereby make invalid any and all writs or

Orders involving any and all questions or determinations of title to land (specifically the

Grooverville Methodist Church property tract that Howell Watkins Realty Corp. alleges

ownership of ) No action to claim ownership can be legally legitimized until a final

disposition of the above styled Quiet Title action has been made by a court of competent

jurisdiction to make a final adjudication of the case.

 Respectfully Submitted,

Jerry McLeod Pro Se
