Robert Baez v. State
Robert Baez v. State
Opinion
Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ May 07, 2014 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A14D0335. ROBERT BAEZ v. THE STATE.
On January 2, 2014, the trial court entered an order denying Robert Baez’s request to proceed in forma pauperis. On April 15, 2014, Baez filed this application for discretionary appeal. Pursuant to OCGA § 5-6-35 (d), an application for discretionary appeal must be filed within 30 days of entry of the order to be appealed.
The requirements of OCGA § 5-6-35 are jurisdictional, and we cannot accept an application not made in compliance therewith. See Crosson v. Conway, 291 Ga. 220, 220-221 (1) (728 SE2d 617) (2012); Moulder v. Reilly, 226 Ga. App. 608 (487 SE2d 142) (1997). Baez filed his application 103 days after entry of the order he seeks to appeal. The application is untimely, and it is therefore DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
