Opinions
Defendant, convicted of violations of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act, OCGA § 16-13-30, appeals from a judgment entered on October 6, 1987. His notice of appeal was filed on January 21, 1988. By an order dated January 25 and entered on February 2 the trial court denied his motion for out-of-time appeal, made by the public defender, after the court found “no good and sufficient reason” was shown for granting it. No reason is asserted by counsel in the record. The order of denial is not appealed from and is ignored by appellant.
