Q: Can a Superior Court Judge dismiss a Petition because of what he sees as a technical issue, and not rule on the merits ?
I submitted a Petition pro se for my incapacitated son, I am legal guardian/POA/mother. The judge dismissed the Petition because I "am not a lawyer" although I submitted case law/GA Statute to show I was allowed to do so in exceptional cases such as ours. He did not read the Petition, simply dismissed.
