AJI JAMAL GRIGGS v. THE STATE.
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
On November 7, 2022, the trial court entered an order denying a motion to suppress filed by Aji Jamal Griggs. The trial court certified its order for immediate review on November 15, 2022, and Griggs filed this application for interlocutory appeal on December 4, 2022. We lack jurisdiction.
Under OCGA § 5-6-34 (b), an application for interlocutory appeal must be filed within ten days of the trial court's issuance of a timely certificate of immediate review. See Genter v. State, 218 Ga.App. 311, 311 (460 S.E.2d 879) (1995). The requirements of OCGA § 5-6-34 (b) are jurisdictional. See State v. Wheeler, 310 Ga. 72, 76 (3) (849 S.E.2d 401) (2020). Here, Griggs filed his application for interlocutory appeal 19 days after the trial court entered the certificate of immediate review. The application is thus untimely, and it is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
