Rakeen Rayneil Hicks v. State

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,__________________ September 04, 2014

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A14A2207. RAKEEN RAYNEIL HICKS v. THE STATE.

In 2012, Rakeen Rayneil Hicks was convicted of armed robbery and other crimes. We affirmed his convictions on appeal. Hicks v. State, 326 Ga. App. 46 (755 SE2d 855) (2014). Hicks then filed another notice of appeal, again seeking review of his judgment of conviction.1 Because Hicks has already had a direct appeal, he is not entitled to another appeal from his judgment. See Jackson v. State, 273 Ga. 320 (540 SE2d 612) (2001) (defendant “not entitled to another bite at the apple by way of a second appeal.”). This appeal is therefore DISMISSED.
