Larceny. Hall Superior Court. Before Judge Kenyon.

Bobby Harrel Reid, pro se.

NICHOLS, Justice.

While he was incarcerated in the State prison at Reidsville a "detainer" was placed on the appellant by the Sheriff of Hall County, as the result of two indictments for noncapital offenses being returned against him by the grand jury of Hall County. The appellant, pro se, filed a demand for trial which was overruled and it is from this judgment adverse to him that the appellant appeals. Held:

The questions presented by the appellant's appeal involve the application of the facts of the case to unquestioned and unambiguous provisions of the state and federal Constitutions. Therefore, the jurisdiction of the appeal is in the Court of Appeals and not in this court. See Harrold v. State, 217 Ga. 612 ( 124 S.E.2d 73); Glass v. State, 219 Ga. 565 ( 134 S.E.2d 813); Allen v. State, 219 Ga. 777 ( 135 S.E.2d 885); Blevins v. State, 113 Ga. App. 413, 415 ( 148 S.E.2d 192); and Blevins v. State, 113 Ga. App. 702 ( 149 S.E.2d 423).

Transferred to the Court of Appeals. All the Justices concur.

SUBMITTED MAY 8, 1967 — DECIDED MAY 18, 1967.
