Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ June 09, 2015

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15A1841. CRAIG ALAN ELLETT v. THE STATE.

Craig Alan Ellett was convicted of aggravated sodomy. On February 10, 2015, the trial court entered an order denying his motion for new trial. On March 16, 2015, Ellett filed a notice of appeal. We, however, lack jurisdiction. A notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days after entry of the appealable order. See OCGA § 5-6-38 (a). The proper and timely filing of a notice of appeal is an absolute requirement to confer jurisdiction on this Court. See Rowland v. State, 264 Ga. 872 (1) (452 SE2d 756) (1995). Because Ellett filed his notice of appeal 34 days after entry of the trial court’s order, his appeal is untimely. Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED. Because Ellett is represented by counsel, he is informed of the following in accordance with Rowland v. State, 264 Ga. 872 (452 SE2d 756) (1995): This appeal has been dismissed because of your counsel’s failure to file a timely notice of appeal. If you still wish to appeal, you may request the trial court to grant an out-of-time appeal. If the trial court grants an out-of-time appeal, you will have 30 days from that grant in which to instigate an appeal. If the trial court denies your request for an out- of-time appeal, you may appeal that denial by filing a notice of appeal within 30 days of the denial. If you no longer wish to appeal your conviction, you need not do anything else. The Clerk of Court is directed to send a copy of this order to Ellett as well as to Ellett’s attorney, who is also directed to send a copy to Ellett.
