Raemon Moore v. State

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,__________________ November 07, 2012

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A13A0459. RAEMON MOORE v. THE STATE.

On September 20, 2011, the trial court entered an order denying Raemon Moore’s motion to dismiss the indictment against him based on the alleged denial of his constitutional right to a speedy trial. On January 6, 2012, Moore filed a notice of appeal. OCGA § 5-6-38 (a) requires that a notice of appeal be filed within 30 days of the order sought to be appealed. Moore filed his notice of appeal 108 days after entry of the trial court’s order. “[A] timely-filed notice of appeal is a jurisdictional prerequisite to a valid appeal.” Henderson v. State, 265 Ga. 317 (1) (454 SE2d 458) (1995). Because Moore’s notice of appeal is untimely, we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
