Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ October 03, 2016

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A17A0294. KENNETH CLARK v. THE STATE.

In 1999, Kenneth Clark pled guilty to multiple offenses, including child molestation and kidnapping. Clark has lodged numerous pro se filings in the trial court after pleading guilty. On July 2, 2015, Clark filed this notice of appeal seeking to appeal an order entered by the trial court on June 19, 2015. However, the record does not include an order entered on that day. The last order in the record was entered on August 11, 2014, in which the trial court denied Clark’s extraordinary motion for new trial. If Clark seeks to appeal the August 2014 order, his notice of appeal is untimely. See OCGA § 5-6-38 (a) (a notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days of entry of the order sought to be appealed). Thus, given the apparent absence of a trial court order, we have nothing to review. See Amica v. State, 307 Ga. App. 276, 282 (2) (704 SE2d 831) (2010). Accordingly, Clark’s appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
