William T. Murray v. State

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ December 04, 2014

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15D0131. WILLIAM T. MURRAY v. STATE.

William Murray seeks to appeal the trial court’s order denying his motion for an out of time appeal. An order denying a motion for an out of time appeal, however, is a directly appealable order. See, e.g., Lunsford v. State, 237 Ga. App. 696 (515 SE2d 198) (1999). When a party applies for discretionary review of a directly appealable order, we grant the application under OCGA § 5-6-35 (j). Accordingly, this application is hereby GRANTED. Murray shall have 10 days from the date of this order to file a notice of appeal with the trial court. If he has already filed a notice of appeal from the order at issue, he need not file a second notice. The trial court is instructed to include a copy of this order in the appellate record.
