IN THE INTEREST OF S. P.
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
S. P. filed this timely application for interlocutory review, challenging the juvenile court's grant of the State's motion to transfer this delinquency case to superior court. However, a juvenile court order granting the State's motion to transfer a case to superior court is directly appealable under OCGA § 15-11-564. In the Interest of K. S., 303 Ga. 542, 546 (814 S.E.2d 324) (2018). "This Court will grant a timely application for interlocutory review if the order complained of is subject to direct appeal and the applicants have not otherwise filed a notice of appeal." Spivey v. Hembree, 268 Ga.App. 485, 486, n. 1 (602 S.E.2d 246) (2004). Accordingly, this interlocutory application is hereby GRANTED.
S. P. shall have ten days from the date of this order to file a notice of appeal in the juvenile court. If he has already filed a notice of appeal from the order at issue, he need not file a second notice. The clerk of the juvenile court is DIRECTED to include a copy of this order in the record transmitted to the Court of Appeals.
