Timothy Daniel Clinton, Sr. v. State
Timothy Daniel Clinton, Sr. v. State
Opinion
Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ March 25, 2013 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A13A1264. TIMOTHY DANIEL CLINTON, SR. v. THE STATE.
Timothy Daniel Clinton pled guilty to sexual battery against a child under 16.
The trial court entered a judgment of conviction and sentence on October 12, 2010.
Clinton filed a motion to modify his sentence, which the trial court denied. This Court affirmed the trial court’s ruling in an unpublished opinion. Clinton v. State, Case No. A12A0669, decided June 8, 2012. On December 7, 2012, Clinton filed a “Motion Set Forth to Make State Prove Evidence,” which the trial court denied on December 19, 2012. Clinton filed a notice of appeal on February 6, 2013. We lack jurisdiction.
Under OCGA § 5-6-38 (a), a notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days of the order sought to be appealed. “[A] timely-filed notice of appeal is a jurisdictional prerequisite to a valid appeal.” Henderson v. State, 265 Ga. 317 (1) (454 SE2d 458) (1995). Because Clinton’s notice of appeal was untimely, we lack jurisdiction to consider his appeal. Additionally, Clinton’s motion appears to be challenging his conviction, and an appeal from an order denying or dismissing a challenge to an allegedly void conviction is subject to dismissal. See Williams v. State, 287 Ga. 192 (695 SE2d 244) (2010). Accordingly, Clinton’s appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
