Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ April 23, 2014 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A14D0315. PAUL STEWART v. THE STATE.

Paul Stewart seeks discretionary review of the trial court’s order denying his motion to dismiss the charges pending against him based upon alleged violations of his constitutional speedy trial rights. We lack jurisdiction.

The Supreme Court of Georgia has ruled that to obtain immediate appellate review of such an order, a defendant must follow the interlocutory appeal procedures of OCGA § 5-6-34 (b). Sosniak v. State, 292 Ga. 35, 37 (2) (734 SE2d 362) (2012); see also Stevens v. State, 292 Ga. 218, 219 (734 SE2d 743) (2012). Accordingly, Stewart was required to follow the interlocutory application procedures set forth in OCGA § 5-6-34 (b), which include obtaining a certificate of immediate review from the trial court. OCGA § 5-6-35, the discretionary appeal statute, does not excuse a party seeking appellate review of an interlocutory order from complying with the additional requirements of OCGA § 5-6-34 (b). See Bailey v. Bailey, 266 Ga. 832, 832-833 (471 SE2d 213) (1996).

Stewart’s failure to comply with the interlocutory appeal procedures deprives us of jurisdiction over this application, which is hereby DISMISSED.
