Green v. State

Full title: GREEN v. THE STATE

Court: Supreme Court of Georgia

Date published: Oct 1, 2001

554 S.E.2d 137 (Ga. 2001)

554 S.E.2d 137

Opinion

S01A1379.

DECIDED: OCTOBER 1, 2001

Murder. Crisp Superior Court. Before Judge Forrester.

George Green, pro se. Denise D. Fachini, District Attorney, for appellee.

HUNSTEIN, Justice.

George Green entered a plea of guilty to felony murder and armed robbery in 1997. In May 2001, he filed a motion to withdraw the guilty plea. His motion, however, is untimely because it was filed after the term of court in which it was entered. Gipson v. State, 269 Ga. 26 ( 494 S.E.2d 669) (1998). Since Green's remedy for challenging his guilty plea is through the writ of habeas corpus, the trial court did not err by denying his motion. Therefore, we affirm.

Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.

HUNSTEIN, Justice.

DECIDED OCTOBER 1, 2001.
