FORD v. The STATE.

Laila A. Kelly, Gerard Bradley Kleinrock, for Appellant. Robert D. James, Jr., Dist. Atty., Leslie Miller–Terry, Asst. Dist. Atty., for Appellee.


Laila A. Kelly, Gerard Bradley Kleinrock, for Appellant. Robert D. James, Jr., Dist. Atty., Leslie Miller–Terry, Asst. Dist. Atty., for Appellee.
PHIPPS, Presiding Judge.

Kwambi Ford filed a direct appeal from the trial court's denial of his motion to dismiss his indictment based upon an alleged violation of his constitutional right to a speedy trial. The Supreme Court of Georgia has recently 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). Ford's appeal is therefore dismissed.

See Stevens v. State, 292 Ga. 218, 734 S.E.2d 743 (2012); Morris, supra.

Appeal dismissed.

ELLINGTON, C.J., and BRANCH, J., concur.
