Kicklighter v. McIntosh Cnty. Bd. of Commissioners, 162 F. Supp. 3d 1363 (2016). “O.C.G.A. §§ 15-6-51,15-ll-54(a). While it is evident that superior court clerks derive their power and duties from the State, it is just as evident that superior court clerks, like the sheriffs referenced in *1370 Pellitteri, are independent of the counties they serve.”
