Kenneth Morrell v. State
Kenneth Morrell v. State
Opinion
Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ March 23, 2021 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A21D0249. KENNETH MORRELL v. THE STATE.
Kenneth Morrell submitted a filing in the Georgia Supreme Court challenging a variety of rulings by the trial court. The Supreme Court docketed the filing as an application for discretionary review and transferred it here. See Supreme Court Case No. S21D0720 (transferred Feb. 25, 2021). The only trial court order challenged by Morrell that is in the record is an order setting his pre-trial bond. We lack jurisdiction.
To obtain review of the order regarding pre-trial bond, Morrell was required to comply with the interlocutory appeal procedure set forth in OCGA § 5-6-34 (b), including obtaining a certificate of immediate review within ten days of the order and filing an application within ten days of the certificate. See Mullinax v. State, 271 Ga. 112, 112 (1) (515 SE2d 839) (1999); Howard v. State, 194 Ga. App. 857, 857 (392 SE2d 562) (1990). Morrell’s failure to comply with the required procedure deprives this Court of jurisdiction over his application, which is hereby DISMISSED.
