Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ December 07, 2020

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A21A0410. IN THE INTEREST OF L. G., A CHILD.

The mother of L. G. filed a pro se notice of appeal from the trial court’s order holding the mother in criminal contempt. The appeal was docketed on September 28, 2020, and the mother’s brief of appellant was due on October 19, 2020. Well over a month has passed since the due date, and the mother has not filed her brief. Accordingly, her appeal is hereby DISMISSED. See Court of Appeals Rule 23 (a).

The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this order to the mother. Pursuant to Reese v. State, 216 Ga. App. 773 (456 SE2d 271) (1995), the mother is further informed: Your appeal has been dismissed because your brief and enumeration of errors were not timely filed. If you have decided that you no longer wish to appeal, you need not do anything more. However, if you still wish to appeal, you may have the right to an out-of-time appeal, but you must request an out-of-time appeal in the trial court. If your motion for out-of-time appeal is denied, you may appeal to this Court within 30 days of the trial court’s decision.
