    Fulton County Superior Court

    ***EFILED***mJ
    Date: 8/3/2023 9:44 PM
    Che Alexander, Clerk

    IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF FULTON COUNTY


    STATE OF GEORGIA

    President Donald J. Trump,


    Petitioner,
    v.
    Fani Willis, Esq.,
    in her capacity as District Attorney for
    the Atlanta Judicial Circuit, No. 2023CV382670

    &
    Hon. Robert McBurney,
    in his capacity as Superior Court
    Judge for the Atlanta Judicial Circuit,
    Respondents.

    N OTICE OF V O LUNT ARY D ISMISSA L U NDER OCGA


    § 9-11-41(a)(1)(A)

    The Petitioner, President Donald J. Trump, petitioned this Court on July

    14, 2023 for writs of mandamus and prohibition to vindicate his rights with

    respect to the Fulton County District Attorney’s and the Supervising Fulton

    County Superior Court Judge’s handling of the OCGA § 15-12-100 et seq.

    special purpose grand jury investigation related to the administration of

    Georgia’s 2020 election proceedings (Case No. 2022-EX-000024). As pled in

    the petition, the position in which the Petitioner had been placed was such that

    his lawfully filed motion in the special purpose grand jury matter had been left

    undecided by the Supervising Judge and the forthcoming harm to the

    1
    Petitioner became manifestly imminent. At that time, the Petitioner had no

    choice but to seek this extraordinary relief.

    Petitioner is now aware that his complaint of inaction has been satisfied—

    particularly through the Order of the Supervising Judge on July 31, 2023. It

    appears that the grant of this Court of a hearing on this matter by way of the

    Rule Nisi issued on July 28, 2023 was effective in pursuing the relief thus

    requested in an expedient fashion. Although the Petitioner does not agree with

    the Supervising Judge’s analysis or ruling, there are now other channels to seek

    judicial review of the underlying arguments. Specifically, the Petitioner

    maintains that there needs to be appellate and/or additional review of the

    propriety of this special purpose grand jury and the ability of the Fulton County

    District Attorney’s Office to continue forward in this matter.

    Therefore, since it appears that there is no additional relief this Court

    could afford Petitioner and that any decision made by this Court would be

    duplicative in nature, the Petitioner hereby dismisses his Petition and will

    pursue his valid legal claims in the appropriate channels and forums as

    permitted under the law. The petitioner is dismissing this action of his own

    accord, which he may do under OCGA § 9-11-41 (a)(1)(A) prior to the first

    witness having been sworn. Petitioner will now seek recourse via the processes

    for appellate review in Title 5, Chapter 6 of the Official Code of Georgia.
