*1 Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ December 10, 2021 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A22A0597. COREECE L. BRIDGES v. THE STATE.

In 2009, Coreece L. Bridges was convicted of hijacking a motor vehicle, two counts of armed robbery, two counts of aggravated assault with intent to rob, and possession of a firearm during commission of a felony. Bridges’s conviction was affirmed on direct appeal in an unpublished opinion. See Bridges v. State , Case No. A16A1358 (Nov. 15, 2016). In 2020, Bridges filed an extraordinary motion for new trial, which the trial court denied on September 14, 2021. Bridges filed a notice of appeal therefrom. We, however, lack jurisdiction.

An order denying an extraordinary motion for new trial must be appealed by discretionary application. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (7); Balkcom v. State , 227 Ga. App. 327, 329 (489 SE2d 129) (1997). Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
