Ford v. State

Kwambi Ford filed a direct appeal from the trial court’s denial of his motion to dismiss his indictment based upon an alleged violation of his constitutional right to a speedy trial. The Supreme Court of Georgia has recently ruled, however, that such a claim is not directly appealable and that a defendant must follow the interlocutory appeal procedures of OCGA § 5-6-34 (b).* Ford’s appeal is therefore dismissed.**

Appeal dismissed.
