In State v. Ramirez-Herrara, 1 we reversed the grant of a general demurrer to five counts of a twelve-count indictment. Thereafter, the Supreme Court of Georgia decided State v. Outen, 2 in which that Court explained that the State must secure a certificate of immediate review in order to appeal an order granting a special demurrer. 3 Based on its opinion in Outen, the Supreme Court granted the petition for a writ of certiorari in this case and remanded it back to this Court for further consideration. 4

Because the State was required to obtain a certificate of immediate review before proceeding, this Court lacked jurisdiction to review the trial court’s order granting the general demurrer. 5 Accordingly, we vacate our prior judgment in this case and dismiss the appeal.

Appeal dismissed.
