Following is legal commentary on GA law I found on Google in <2 minutes.
"Are deficiency judgments permitted in Georgia?
Yes, adeficiency judgment may be obtained when a property in foreclosure is sold at a public sale for less than the loan amount that the underlying mortgage secures. The lender must seek a deficiency judgment within thirty (30) days after the foreclosure sale. The foreclosure sale must be confirmed.

Court/case citations are normally not easily found unless one is looking at the "annotated" statutes of a state, and to do that you'd go to eiher your state supreme court law library or any law school.
Those law libraries normally have ALL state statutes, annotated versions showing court cases and decisions.
