Michael Benning v. State
Michael Benning v. State
Opinion
Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ March 03, 2014
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A14A0065. MICHAEL BENNING v. THE STATE.
This appeal was docketed on August 29, 2013. As set forth in Court of Appeals Rules 22 (a) and 23 (a), an appellant must file enumerations of error and briefs within 20 days of the date of docketing of the appeal. Therefore, appellant’s brief and enumerations of error were due no later than September 18, 2013. Although a motion for extension of time of 10 days to file brief was filed at 4:37 p.m. on September 18, 2013, that motion has not been granted or denied by this Court and the ten days therein requested have expired. Appellant filed a motion to supplement the record on September 30, 2013, which was granted on October 4, 2013, and the supplement was filed with this court on November 8, 2013. Appellant has neither filed a brief and enumerations of error nor has he requested an additional extension of time in which to do so. Accordingly, this appeal is DISMISSED because appellant’s attorney failed to file a brief and enumerations of error. If appellant has decided not to appeal, no further action is required. However, if appellant wishes to proceed with the appeal, he may have the right to an OUT-OF-TIME APPEAL provided he exercises that right by moving for an out-of-time appeal in the trial court. If the motion for an out-of- time appeal is granted and appellant requests another attorney but cannot pay, the trial court is to appoint another attorney to proceed with the appeal. If the trial court denies the motion for out-of-time appeal, appellant may appeal that denial to this Court within 30 days of the trial court’s decision. Reese v. State, 216 Ga. App. 773 (456 SE2d 271) (1995).
