Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ July 28, 2015 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A15A1752. COLLINS v. THE STATE.

The above-referenced appeal was docketed with this Court on May 8, 2015.

Pursuant to Court of Appeals Rule 22 (a), Appellant’s brief was due to be filed on or before May 28, 2015. The deadline has long since passed, and Appellant has not sought an extension of time in which to file his brief. Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED. See Court of Appeals Rule 23 (a).

We also instruct Collins as follows: Your appeal has been DISMISSED because your attorney failed to timely file a brief and enumeration of errors . If you have decided you do not want to appeal, you need not do anything more. However, if you do still want to appeal, you may have the right to an OUT-OF-TIME APPEAL – but YOU MUST TAKE ACTION to exercise that right by moving for an out-of- time appeal in the trial court. If your motion for an out-of-time appeal is granted, the trial court should appoint another attorney for you if you want one and cannot pay for one. If your motion for an out-of-time appeal is denied, you may appeal that denial to this court within thirty (30) days of the trial court’s decision. See Reese v. State, 216 Ga. App. 773, 775 (456 SE2d 271) (1995).
