In the Court of Appeals of Georgia A12A2210. MORRIS v. 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) (Case No.

S12A0799, decided November 19, 2012). Morris’s appeal is therefore dismissed. See

Stevens v. State, ___ Ga. ___ (Case No. S12A1795, decided November 27, 2012).

Appeal dismissed. Doyle, P. J. and Andrews, J., concur.
