Timothy A. Henry v. State
Timothy A. Henry v. State
Opinion
Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ May 25, 2016 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A16A1736. TIMOTHY A. HENRY v. THE STATE.
In February 2010, Timothy A. Henry was convicted by a jury of two counts of aggravated child molestation, two counts of aggravated sodomy, and one count of child molestation. After the trial court granted Henry’s motion for out-of-time appeal, his convictions were affirmed by this Court. See Henry v. State, 316 Ga. App. 132 (729 SE2d 429) (2012). In September 2015, Henry filed another motion for out-of- time appeal, which the trial court denied. Henry then filed this direct appeal.
“An out-of-time appeal is a judicial creation that serves as the remedy for a frustrated right of appeal. . . . [I]t is not a remedy available to a criminal defendant whose conviction has been reviewed by an appellate court on direct appeal since that defendant is not entitled to a second direct appeal from his judgment of conviction.”
Milliken v. State, 259 Ga. App. 144, 145 (575 SE2d 910) (2003) (punctuation and footnote omitted). Because Henry already has had a direct appeal, he is not entitled to an out-of-time appeal. See Richards v. State, 275 Ga. 190, 191 (563 SE2d 856) (2002) (“[T]here is no right to directly appeal the denial of a motion for out-of-time appeal filed by a criminal defendant whose conviction has been affirmed on direct appeal.”). Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
