Richard Bryson v. State
Richard Bryson v. State
Opinion
Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ March 21, 2019 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A19A0780. RICHARD S. BRYSON v. THE STATE.
Appellant Richard S. Bryson was indicted in Catoosa County and pleaded guilty to multiple sex offenses against his step-daughter. He subsequently filed a pro- se motion in the Superior Court of Catoosa County seeking credit for time served, contending that he should receive credit for time served in Dade County on another offense related to sex crimes against his step-daughter. The trial court entered an order both denying and dismissing Bryson’s motion, and Bryson filed this pro-se appeal.
As our Supreme Court explained in Warbington v. State, 303 Ga. 649, 650 (814 SE2d 351) (2018), “a prisoner seeking credit for time served should generally seek relief through a petition for writ of mandamus against the official responsible for calculation of the time.” Because the motion was a nullity, it presents nothing for this Court to review. Accordingly, Bryson’s appeal is dismissed. Id.
