S10A2072. NASHVILLE RESTAURANT MANAGEMENT, LLC v. GWINNETT COUNTY et al. HUNSTEIN, Chief Justice. In March 2010, after a large sinkhole opened on its Gwinnett County property,1 Waheguru Holdings, LLC brought suit against appellee Gwinnett County seeking damages and injunctive relief. The trial court visited the site and held a hearing on May 6, 2010, which representatives of appellant Nashville Restaurant Management, LLC also attended. Although appellant was not at that time a party to the proceedings, it has an interest in the property adjacent to Waheguru's property;2 appellant's property was also adversely affected by the sinkhole. The following day, May 7, 2010, the trial court entered two orders. The first order added appellant and the others having an interest in appellant's

At the time of the order being appealed, the sinkhole was approximately 100 feet long, 40 feet wide and more than 20 feet deep. The trial court's orders and appellant's brief conflict as to the nature of appellant's interest in the property. Moreover, the trial court in its orders states that other entities, possibly including some not currently identified, also have an interest in that same property. For convenience, we will refer to it as appellant's property.
