Phillip Freeman v. Gregory McLaughlin, Warden

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ February 05, 2016

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A16A0793. PHILLIP FREEMAN v. GREGORY MCLAUGHLIN, WARDEN.

A jury found Phillip Freeman guilty of aggravated child molestation. Following the grant of an out-of-time appeal, his conviction was affirmed on appeal. See Freeman v. State, Case Number A13A1442, decided Aug. 22, 2013. Freeman then filed a petition for habeas corpus, which the trial court denied. Freeman filed this direct appeal. However, the Supreme Court has appellate jurisdiction over all cases involving habeas corpus. See Ga. Const. 1983, Art. VI, Sec. VI, Par. III (4). This appeal is therefore TRANSFERRED to the Supreme Court for disposition.
