Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ September 08, 2025 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A26A0312. AQONTISE GLENN v. THE STATE.

Upon being convicted of malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, and other crimes, Aqontise Glenn was sentenced to life imprisonment plus ten years.

Glenn filed a motion for new trial, which the trial court denied. Glenn then filed the instant appeal. We lack jurisdiction.

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 crimes of malice murder and felony murder, jurisdiction over this appeal lies in the Supreme Court. See OCGA § 16-5-1 (a), (c), (e) (1); see also Hart v. State, __ Ga. __, __ (1) (917 SE2d 631) (2025) (even in murder cases in which the death penalty was not sought, the Supreme Court has opted to exercise its jurisdiction to review all such cases). Accordingly, this appeal is hereby TRANSFERRED to the Supreme Court for disposition.
