What changed
The Georgia Court of Appeals dismissed appeal A26A1465 due to appellants' failure to timely file their appellate brief and enumeration of errors. Despite receiving an extension from the original March 25, 2026 deadline to April 7, 2026, appellants Aslam Gilani and Peak Amusement, LLC did not file the required documents.
Parties appealing to Georgia's Court of Appeals must strictly adhere to filing deadlines under Court of Appeals Rules 13, 16(b), and 23(a). Failure to file by the deadline, even after an extension, results in automatic dismissal. Litigants should implement robust docketing systems to track all appellate deadlines and avoid procedural defaults that forfeit appellate rights.
What to do next
- Monitor court dockets for related proceedings
- Ensure compliance with court filing deadlines to avoid similar dismissals
Penalties
Appeal dismissed — parties lose their right to appellate review

ATLANTA,____________________
April 08, 2026
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A26A1465. ASLAM GILANI et al v. EPIC AMUSEMENT, LLC.
Aslam Gilani and Peak Amusement, LLC filed a notice of appeal in this action,
and the appeal was docketed on March 5, 2026. As set forth in Court of Appeals Rule
23(a), an appellant must file a brief within 20 days after the appeal is docketed.
Therefore, the appellants’ brief was due no later than March 25, 2026. The appellants
filed a timely motion for an extension of time to file their appellate brief, and this
Court granted the motion, extending the deadline for the appellants to file their brief
and enumeration of errors to April 7, 2026. Our order indicated that “[f]ailure to file
by 4:30 p.m. on that date shall result in dismissal of their appeal.” To date, the
appellants have not filed their appellate brief and enumeration of errors. Accordingly,
this appeal is hereby DISMISSED. See Tolbert v. Tolbert, 234 Ga. 708 (217 SE2d
162) (1975); Court of Appeals Rules 13, 16(b), 23(a).
