Coreece L. Bridges v. State

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________

December 10, 2021 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A22A0597. COREECE L. BRIDGES v. THE STATE.

In 2009, Coreece L. Bridges was convicted of hijacking a motor vehicle, two counts of armed robbery, two counts of aggravated assault with intent to rob, and possession of a firearm during commission of a felony. Bridges’s conviction was affirmed on direct appeal in an unpublished opinion. See Bridges v. State, Case No. A16A1358 (Nov. 15, 2016). In 2020, Bridges filed an extraordinary motion for new trial, which the trial court denied on September 14, 2021. Bridges filed a notice of appeal therefrom. We, however, lack jurisdiction.

An order denying an extraordinary motion for new trial must be appealed by discretionary application. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (7); Balkcom v. State, 227 Ga. App. 327, 329 (489 SE2d 129) (1997). Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
