Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ December 23, 2024 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A25A0641. RAISSA D. KENGNE v. THE STATE.

Raissa Kengne was indicted for murder and other offenses. Her charges remain pending; she seeks interlocutory review of an involuntary medication order.

The Supreme Court of Georgia has appellate jurisdiction over “[a]ll cases in which a sentence of death was imposed or could be imposed.” Ga. Const. of 1983, Art. VI, Sec. VI, Par. III (8). Because a penalty of death may be imposed for the crime of murder, jurisdiction over this appeal lies in the Supreme Court. See OCGA § 16-5-1 (a), (e) (1); State v. Murray, 286 Ga. 258, 259 (1) (687 SE2d 790) (2009) (where the murder count of an indictment remains pending, jurisdiction of an appeal from a pre-conviction order lies in the Supreme Court); see also State v. Thornton, 253 Ga. 524, 524 (1) (322 SE2d 711) (1984) (directing this Court to transfer to the Supreme Court “all cases in which either a sentence of death or of life imprisonment has been imposed upon conviction of murder, and all pre-conviction appeals in murder cases”), overruled in part on other grounds as recognized in Elliott v. State, 305 Ga. 179, 205 (III) (C) (i) (824 SE2d 265) (2019).

Accordingly, this appeal is hereby TRANSFERRED to the Supreme Court for disposition.
