Morris v. State

BOGGS

Jennifer Faith Arndt, for Morris. Layla Hinton Zon and Jillian Rachael Hall, for the State.
BOGGS, Judge.

Glendon Morris filed a direct appeal from the trial court's denial of his pre-trial plea in bar based upon an alleged violation of his constitutional right to a speedy trial. The Supreme Court of Georgia has recently ruled, however, that such a claim is not directly appealable and that a defendant must follow the interlocutory appeal procedures of OCGA § 5–6–34(b). Sosniak v. State, ––– Ga. ––––(2), 734 S.E.2d 362 (2012). Morris's appeal is therefore dismissed. See Stevens v. State, ––– Ga. ––––, 734 S.E.2d 743 (2012).

Appeal dismissed.
