Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ March 27, 2024 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A24D0286. CEDRIC HERBERT v. THE STATE.

Cedric Herbert filed this discretionary application to appeal his speeding conviction and probated sentence. The trial court’s ruling here may be appealed directly.

This Court will grant a timely discretionary application if the lower court's order is subject to direct appeal. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (j). Accordingly, this application is hereby GRANTED. Herbert shall have ten days from the date of this order to file a notice of appeal with the state court. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (g). The clerk of the state court is directed to include a copy of this order in the record transmitted to the Court of Appeals.

Further, we conclude that Herbert’s motion for emergency stay of sentence pending appeal fails to meet the standard for emergency relief as contemplated by Court of Appeals Rule 40 (b). Consequently, the motion is hereby DENIED.
