ELDRIDGE, Judge.
Appellant Clarence Lewis Guest filed this appeal challenging his May 11, 1998 guilty plea for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was sentenced on June 23, 1998, to five years imprisonment, two to serve. On July 22, 1998, he filed a pro se appeal to the Supreme Court of Georgia, which was transferred to this Court on September 11, 1998. We affirm.
Guest also filed a pro se motion to withdraw his guilty plea on July 22, 1998. However, since a direct appeal had been filed by Guest, the trial court lacked jurisdiction over the matter and properly denied such motion on July 24, 1998.
"A direct appeal from a judgment of conviction and sentence entered on a guilty plea is only available if the issue on appeal can be resolved by reference to facts on the record. . . . In this case, [Guest] has not shown that the issues he seeks to raise on appeal can be resolved by reference to facts in the record." Echols v. State, 231 Ga. App. 501 ( 498 S.E.2d 66) (1998). Accordingly, we affirm.
Judgment affirmed. Pope, P.J., and Smith, J., concur.
DECIDED FEBRUARY 3, 1999 — RECONSIDERATION DENIED FEBRUARY 15, 1999.
