Case Information
*1 Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ October 04, 2017
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A18A0261. ERROL M. WINDHOM v. THE STATE.
Errol M. Windhom was convicted by a jury of armed robbery. His convictions were affirmed on appeal. See Windhom v. State , 326 Ga. App. 212 (756 SE2d 296) (2014). Windhom subsequently filed an extraordinary motion for new trial, which the trial court denied. Windhom then filed this direct appeal. We, however, lack jurisdiction.
An order denying an extraordinary motion for new trial must be appealed by application for discretionary appeal. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (7); Balkcom v. State , 227 Ga. App. 327, 329 (489 SE2d 129) (1997). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction over this direct appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
