JUSTICE QUEEN AL-AMEEN v. THE STATE.
On August 5, 2022, the trial court entered an order dismissing Justice Queen Al-Ameen's motion for speedy trial. Al-Ameen then filed this pro se application for a discretionary appeal. We, however, lack jurisdiction.
Because Al-Ameen's case is still pending below, to obtain review of the trial court's August 5 order, she was required to comply with the interlocutory appeal procedure set forth in OCGA § 5-6-34 (b), including obtaining a certificate of immediate review. See Boyd v. State, 191 Ga.App. 435, 435 (383 S.E.2d 906) (1989). Al-Ameen's failure to obtain a certificate of immediate review deprives this Court of jurisdiction over her application. For this reason, Al-Ameen's discretionary application is hereby DISMISSED.
