Opinion

49175.

SUBMITTED APRIL 4, 1974.

DECIDED MAY 6, 1974.

Motion for bail. Richmond Superior Court. Before Judge Pierce.

Bobby Hardwick, pro se. Richard E. Allen, District Attorney, for appellee.

PANNELL, Judge.

The defendant was convicted of the offense of armed robbery, a felony. His application for bond pending appeal was denied and he appealed to this court. Held:

"The granting or refusing of bail in felony cases after indictment and conviction is a matter within the sound discretion of the trial court, and this court will not control that discretion unless it has been flagrantly abused. Bishop v. Wilbanks, 161 Ga. 305 ( 130 S.E. 819); Smith v. State, 203 Ga. 636 ( 47 S.E.2d 866)." Watts v. Grimes, 224 Ga. 227 ( 161 S.E.2d 286). No abuse of discretion is shown under the record in this case and the action of the trial court is affirmed.

Judgment affirmed. Eberhardt, P. J., and Evans, J., concur.

SUBMITTED APRIL 4, 1974 — DECIDED MAY 6, 1974.
