Demetrius Curtis v. State

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ July 18, 2018 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A18I0251. DEMETRIUS CURTIS v. THE STATE.

Demetrius Curtis, who is in jail on criminal charges, filed a pro se “Motion to Indict or Dismiss” and a motion for discharge. The trial court denied the motions, and Curtis filed this application for interlocutory appeal. We, however, lack jurisdiction.

The trial court’s order is interlocutory. See Stewart v. State, 240 Ga. App. 154, 154 (522 SE2d 743) (1999) (order denying motion to dismiss an indictment is interlocutory). An interlocutory order is not appealable without a certificate of immediate review. See OCGA § 5-6-34 (b); Atlanta Hanggliders & Ultralights, Inc. v. Rountree, 169 Ga. App. 647, 647 (314 SE2d 679) (1984). Here, Curtis failed to obtain a certificate of immediate review. We thus lack jurisdiction to consider his application for interlocutory appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.

Witness my signature and the seal of said court hereto affixed the day and year last above written.
