DOYLE, Presiding Judge.
Harry Brett Taylor filed a direct appeal from the trial court's denial of his pre-trial plea in bar based upon an alleged violation of his constitutional right to a speedy trial. The Supreme Court of Georgia has ruled, however, that such a claim is not directly appealable and that a defendant must follow the interlocutory appeal procedures of OCGA § 5–6–34(b). Taylor's appeal is therefore dismissed.
