Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ December 11, 2015 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A16A0510. MEREDITH STEPHENS ASHWORTH v. THE STATE.

On September 16, 2015, the trial court entered an order denying Meredith Ashworth’s motion to suppress. Ashworth filed a notice of appeal to this Court, however, we lack jurisdiction.

The order denying the motion to suppress is not a final appealable decision within the meaning of OCGA § 5-6-34 (a). Accordingly, Ashworth was required to follow the interlocutory appeal procedure outlined in OCGA § 5-6-34 (b) and, after obtaining a certificate of immediate review from the trial court, was required to file a timely application for interlocutory review in this Court. See OCGA § 5-6-34 (b); Court of Appeals Rule 30. Because Ashworth failed to comply with interlocutory procedures, we lack jurisdiction, and this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
