Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ July 14, 2020 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A20A2028. DEWAYMON A. HARRIS v. THE STATE.

A jury found Dewaymon Harris guilty of aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony in 2004, and we affirmed his judgment of conviction on appeal. Harris v. State, 273 Ga. App. 90 (614 SE2d 189) (2005). In May 2020, Harris filed a motion for an out-of-time appeal, which the trial court denied. Harris then filed this direct appeal. We lack jurisdiction.

“An out-of-time appeal is a judicial creation that serves as the remedy for a frustrated right of appeal.” Kilgore v. State, 325 Ga. App. 874, 875 (1) (756 SE2d 9) (2014) (punctuation omitted). Because Harris 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.”); Jackson v. State, 273 Ga. 320, 320 (540 SE2d 612) (2001) (a defendant “is not entitled to another bite at the apple by way of a second appeal”).

Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED. See Richards, 275 Ga. at 191-192.
