In the Court of Appeals of Georgia A13A0522. TAYLOR v. THE STATE. DO-020 C

DOYLE , Presiding Judge.

Harry Brett Taylor 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 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 Taylor’s appeal is therefore dismissed.2

Appeal dismissed. McFadden and Boggs, JJ., concur.
