John P. Griffin II v. State

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ April 17, 2013 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A13A1477. JOHN P. GRIFFIN II v. THE STATE.

In 2010, the trial court revoked six years of John Griffin’s probation. He later filed a motion to vacate the sentence imposed following the revocation. The trial court denied the motion, and Griffin filed this direct appeal.1 Because the underlying subject matter of Griffin’s appeal is the revocation of his probation, he was required to file an application for discretionary appeal in order to appeal. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (5); White v. State, 233 Ga. App. 873 (505 SE2d 228) (1998). We lack jurisdiction over this direct appeal, which is therefore DISMISSED.

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia 04/17/2013 Clerk’s Office, Atlanta,__________________ I certify that the above is a true extract from the minutes of the Court of Appeals of Georgia.

Witness my signature and the seal of said court hereto affixed the day and year last above written.

, Clerk.

He also filed an application for discretionary appeal, which has been docketed as A13D0294.
