Timothy A. Dailey v. State
Timothy A. Dailey v. State
Opinion
Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ December 13, 2013 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A14A0623. TIMOTHY A. DAILEY v. THE STATE.
In 2009, Timothy A. Dailey pled guilty to two counts of armed robbery. In 2013, Dailey filed a pro se motion demanding the production of scientific reports of fingerprints allegedly in the State’s custody. The trial court denied the motion, and Dailey filed this direct appeal. We lack jurisdiction. “[I]f no petition for habeas corpus is pending at the time an indigent prisoner makes any application for a transcript . . . for purposes of collateral attack upon his conviction or sentence, that application will be treated as a separate civil action subject to the procedures and requirements of the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1996. Specifically, appeals from the denial of any such application for free transcripts for post-conviction collateral attack must comply with the discretionary appeal procedures of OCGA § 5-6-35.” Coles v. State, 223 Ga. App. 491, 492 (1) (477 SE2d 897) (1996); see OCGA § 42-12-8. The same rule applies here. Because Daily is seeking the production of evidence for a collateral attack on his conviction – and because Dailey has not shown a pending habeas petition – his failure to follow the discretionary appeal procedure deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED. See id. Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia 12/13/2013 Clerk’s Office, Atlanta,__________________ I certify that the above is a true extract from the minutes of the Court of Appeals of Georgia.
