MAURICE YOUNG v. THE STATE
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
On July 9, 2019, the trial court issued an order denying Maurice Young's request for pre-trial bond. On January 21, 2021, Young filed a pro se notice of appeal of the trial court's order.
To obtain review of the order regarding pre-trial bond, Young was required to comply with the interlocutory appeal procedure set forth in OCGA § 5-6-34 (b), including obtaining a certificate of immediate review within ten days of the order and filing an application within ten days of the certificate. See Mullinax v. State, 271 Ga. 112, 112 (1) (515 S.E.2d 839) (1999); Howard v. State, 194 Ga.App. 857, 857 (392 S.E.2d 562) (1990). Thus, pretermitting whether Young is represented by counsel below, which would render his notice of appeal a nullity, see White v. State, 302 Ga. 315, 319 (2) (806 S.E.2d 489) (2017), we lack jurisdiction because he failed to comply with the interlocutory appeal procedure. Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
