Opinion
Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,____________________ March 11, 2021
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A21A0984. DERRICK P. TAYLOR v. THE STATE.
In March 2017, Derrick P. Taylor pleaded guilty to one count of statutory rape and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. In March 2019, Taylor filed a pro se motion to vacate his judgment due to a lack of jurisdiction. The trial court dismissed the motion, and Taylor filed this direct appeal. “[A] petition to vacate or modify a judgment of conviction is not an appropriate remedy in a criminal case.” Harper v. State, 286 Ga. 216, 218 (1) (686 SE2d 786) (2009); see also Wright v. State, 277 Ga. 810, 811 (596 SE2d 587) (2004). Any appeal from an order denying or dismissing such a motion must be dismissed. See Roberts v. State, 286 Ga. 532 (690 SE2d 150) (2010); Harper, 286 Ga. at 218 (2). Consequently, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
