Georgia Court of Appeals, 2013

Taylor v. State

Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided February 14, 2013 · Doyle

321 Ga. App. 736; 738 S.E.2d 347; 2013 Fulton County D. Rep. 304; 2013 WL 541078; 2013 Ga. App. LEXIS 65

Opinion of the Court

DOYLE, Presiding Judge.

Harry Brett Taylor filed a direct appeal from the trial court’s denial of his pre-trial plea in bar based upon an alleged violation of his constitutional right to a speedy trial. The Supreme Court of Georgia has 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).1 Taylor’s appeal is therefore dismissed.2

Appeal dismissed.
