Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ August 19, 2025

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A26A0148. RAMON MCCRAY v. THE STATE.

Ramon McCray was arrested and charged with two counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He filed a motion for bond , which the trial court denied. He then filed this pro se notice of appeal. Pretermitting whether McCray properly filed this appeal pro se,1 we lack jurisdiction. Appeals generally may be taken from “[a]ll final judgments, that is to say, where the case is no longer pending in the court below[.]” OCGA § 5-6-34 (a) (1) (B). Here, the order McCray seeks to appeal is not a final judgment as the case remains pending in the trial court. Consequently, he was required to use the interlocutory appeal procedure — including obtaining a timely certificate of immediate review from the trial court — to appeal the order denying his request for bond. See OCGA § 5-6-34 (b); Mullinax v. State, 271 Ga. 112, 112 (1) (515 SE2d 839) (1999). His failure to
