Opinion

DOYLE, Presiding Judge.

Gary Ford 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).¹ Ford’s appeal is therefore dismissed.²

Appeal dismissed.

Andrews, P. J., and Boggs, J., concur.
