Cedric Buffington v. State

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ August 17, 2020

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A21A0070. CEDRIC BUFFINGTON v. THE STATE.

Cedric Buffington filed this direct appeal from the trial court’s order revoking his probation. However, an application for discretionary appeal is required to appeal an order revoking probation. OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (5); see Todd v. State, 236 Ga. App. 757, 758 (513 SE2d 287) (1999) (holding that where the underlying subject matter is probation revocation, the discretionary appeal procedure applies); accord White v. State, 233 Ga. App. 873, 874 (505 SE2d 228) (1998). Buffington’s failure to follow the required appellate procedure deprives us of jurisdiction. Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
