HALL v. THE STATE.

BIRDSONG, Presiding Judge.

Bryant Jamal Hall a/k/a Mel Hall appeals his conviction for sale of cocaine. He contends the trial court erred by denying his general demurrer and motion to quash the indictment. Held:

Pretermitting any issue of the validity of Hall's general demurrer and motion to quash the indictment (OCGA § 17-7-111; State v. Givens, 211 Ga. App. 71, 72 ( 438 S.E.2d 387)), his appeal must be dismissed because he voluntarily abandoned his motion for new trial. When there is no order disposing of the motion for new trial nor an order granting an extension of time or a delayed appeal, there is no extension of time beyond the 30 days permitted after entry of the judgment. Marshall v. State, 205 Ga. App. 531 ( 422 S.E.2d 677); Taylor v. State, 173 Ga. App. 745 ( 327 S.E.2d 860). Compare Ailion v. Wade, 190 Ga. App. 151 ( 378 S.E.2d 507). Accordingly, Hall's notice of appeal was untimely, and his appeal must be dismissed.

Appeal dismissed. Cooper and Blackburn, JJ., concur.
