Audrey Swanson v. State
Audrey Swanson v. State
Opinion
Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ October 17, 2022 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A23I0050. AUDREY SWANSON v. THE STATE.
Audrey Swanson seeks interlocutory review of a trial court order denying pre- trial bond reduction.1 We, however, lack jurisdiction.
Because this case remains pending below, the trial court’s order denying Swanson’s motion for bond reduction was interlocutory. See Howard v. State, 194 Ga. App. 857 (392 SE2d 562) (1990). To appeal the order, Swanson was required to comply with the interlocutory appeal procedure, including obtaining a certificate of immediate review from the trial court. See OCGA § 5-6-34 (b). Swanson did not obtain a certificate of immediate review from the trial court within ten days of entry of the order he wishes to appeal. Swanson’s failure to do so deprives us of jurisdiction to consider this application, which is hereby DISMISSED. See Mullinax v. State, 271 Ga. 112 (1) (515 SE2d 839) (1999); Howard, 194 Ga. App. at 857.
Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia Clerk’s Office, Atlanta,____________________ 10/17/2022 I certify that the above is a true extract from the minutes of the Court of Appeals of Georgia.
