Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ February 11, 2019

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A19A0651 & A19A0652. JOHN HUGHES v. STATE OF GEORGIA.

These appeals were docketed on October 19, 2018, and appellant’s briefs containing enumerations of error were due by November 19, 2018 and extended until January 28, 2019. On February 11, 2019, the State moved to dismiss the two appeals. As appellant has failed to timely file briefs and enumerations of error with this Court, the appeals are DISMISSED. See Court of Appeals Rule 23 (a).

The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this order directly to Mr. Hughes. Pursuant to Rowland v. State, 264 Ga. 872, 875 (2) (452 SE2d 756) (1995), and Reese v. State, 216 Ga. App. 773, 775 (456 SE2d 271) (1995), Mr. Hughes is advised as follows:

Mr. Hughes, your appeals have been DISMISSED because no briefs and enumerations of error were filed. If you have decided you do not want to appeal, you need not do anything more. However, if you do still want to appeal, you may have the right to an OUT-OF-TIME APPEAL -- but YOU MUST TAKE ACTION to exercise that right by moving for an out-of-time appeal in the trial court. If your motion for an out-of-time appeal is granted, the trial court should appoint an attorney for you if you want one and cannot pay for one. If your motion for an out-of time appeal is denied, you have the right to appeal that denial to this Court within thirty days of the trial court’s decision. Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia Clerk’s Office, Atlanta,____________________ 02/11/2019 I certify that the above is a true extract from the minutes of the Court of Appeals of Georgia. Witness my signature and the seal of said court hereto affixed the day and year last above written.

, Clerk.
