As of noon Monday, James Grogan was forced to vacate his position as Dawsonville city mayor.
A ruling filed Monday morning in the Dawson County Clerk of Court’s office by Superior Court Judge C. Andrew Fuller dismisses Grogan’s appeal of a May 15 city council decision to remove him from office.
Following an Aug. 2 hearing on the appeal case, Fuller writes that Grogan failed to comply with requirements that specified how his appeal was supposed to be made.
