Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ October 31, 2018 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A18A1547. JOE LEE ROGERS v. THE STATE.

This appeal was docketed on April 10, 2018, and Rogers’s brief of appellant was due 20 days later, on April 30, 2018. On April 25, 2018, Rogers, acting pro se, requested a 30-day extension of time to file his brief. We granted that request on May 3, 2018, noting that the time for Rogers to file his brief was extended until May 31, 2018.

Over four months have passed since the extended due date, and Rogers still has not filed a brief of appellant.1 Accordingly, Rogers’s appeal is hereby DISMISSED for failure to file a brief. See Ct. App. R. 23 (a). The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this order to Rogers. Pursuant to Reese v. State, 216 Ga. App. 773 (456 SE2d 271) (1995), Rogers is further informed: Your appeal has been dismissed because your brief and enumeration of errors were not timely filed. If you have decided that you no longer wish to appeal, you need not do anything more. However, if you still wish to appeal, you may have the right to an out-of-time appeal, but you must request an out- of-time appeal in the trial court. If your motion for an out-of-time appeal is granted,

It appears that Rogers submitted an additional request for a 45-day extension on June 15, 2018, which we never ruled on because it was attached to a request for extension filed in a related appeal (Case No. A18A1548). We note that the request was untimely. See Ct. App. R. 23 (a) (“[A]ppellant’s motion for an extension of time to file a brief and enumeration of errors must be filed before the date the documents are due or the Court may dismiss the appeal.”). Even if we had granted the request and extended the due date for 45 more days, however, the filing period would have expired several months ago. the trial court should appoint an attorney for you if you want an attorney but cannot afford one. If your motion for out-of-time appeal is denied, you may appeal to this Court within 30 days of the trial court’s decision.
