Austin Luke Bradley v. State - Appeal Dismissed as Duplicative
Summary
The Court of Appeals of Georgia dismissed Case No. A26A1536 as duplicative of a pending cross appeal in Case No. A26A1535. Defendant Austin Luke Bradley's notice of cross appeal was submitted twice after the trial court re-entered its order denying his motion to suppress nunc pro tunc to January 16, 2026. The Court determined the instant appeal was superfluous and dismissed it.
What changed
The Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal filed by Austin Luke Bradley as duplicative. After the trial court re-entered its order denying Bradley's motion to suppress a search warrant for medical records nunc pro tunc to January 16, Bradley submitted his notice of cross appeal a second time, creating a duplicate case. The Court found the instant appeal (A26A1536) superfluous given the pending cross appeal in Case No. A26A1535.
For affected parties, this is a procedural dismissal with no substantive impact on the underlying case. The State retains its pending appeal (A26A1536) and Bradley retains his cross appeal rights in A26A1535. No compliance obligations or new legal precedents are established.

ATLANTA,____________________
April 16, 2026
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A26A1536. AUSTIN LUKE BRADLEY v. THE STATE.
In this criminal proceeding, the trial court entered an order on February 23,
2026, granting a motion in limine filed by defendant Austin Luke Bradley. The State
filed a timely appeal pursuant to OCGA § 5-7-1(a)(5) on February 25, 2026, which has
been docketed in Case No. A26A1480. On March 10, 2026, Bradley filed a notice of
cross appeal, seeking to appeal the trial court’s January 16, 2026 order denying his
motion to suppress a search warrant for medical records. See OCGA § 5-7-1 (b) (when
the State appeals in a criminal case, a defendant has the right to cross appeal). That
case has been docketed in Case No. A26A1535.
On March 11, 2026, the trial court re-entered its order denying Bradley’s
motion to suppress nunc pro tunc to January 16, and Bradley submitted his March 10
notice of cross appeal a second time, which was docketed in the instant cross appeal,
Case No. A26A1536. Because the instant appeal is duplicative of the pending cross
appeal in Case No. A26A1535, it is hereby DISMISSED as superfluous.
