Summary
In Georgia, judgments in cases with multiple parties or claims arent final unless specific criteria are met, such as express determination under OCGA § 9-11-54(b) or compliance with interlocutory appeal requirements. An appellate court can rule on one party if these conditions are satisfied. For post-conviction relief, new evidence like a detectives felony can be grounds for appeal. Parole denial might be influenced by external factors, and challenging it requires gathering evidence of undue influence. No strict time limit exists for filing post-conviction relief based on new evidence, but acting promptly is advisable.Full Conversation
case involving multiple parties or multiple claims, a decision adjudicating fewer than all the claims or the rights and liabilities of less than all the parties is not a final judgment.... In such circumstances, there must be an express determination under OCGA § *-*-* (b) ... or there must be compliance with the [interlocutory appeal] requirements of OCGA § *-*-* (b).... Where neither of these code sections are followed..., the appeal is premature and must be dismissed. [Cits.]" Spivey v. Rogers, * Ga. App. * (* SE2d *) (*). See generally OCGA § *-*-* (a) (*).
What does this mean to other people in the case who had judgements ruled against them? Would they be final before all cases were complete?
Hi ****! This means that, in cases with multiple parties or claims, a judgment won't be considered final unless:
- There is an express determination under OCGA § *-*-*(b), or
- It meets the interlocutory appeal requirements of OCGA § *-*-*(b).
Without these, judgments against other parties are not final until all claims are resolved.

The detective who swore under oath about every piece of evidence yet never produced any documents was charged with a felony of tapping a computer in the Gwinnett county courthouse. He took a deal to testify against everyone else in exchange for dropping his charges.

Yes, he can potentially appeal the case and request impeachment of the detective based on the new evidence. This would be considered a post-conviction relief motion.
