JULIA STANLEY v. THE STATE.
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
Julia Stanley seeks review of three orders entered in her criminal case on April 21, 2023, directing that her competency be evaluated, revoking her bond, and denying her "Emergency Motion for Affordable Bond." Stanley filed her pro se documents in the Supreme Court of Georgia, which transferred the case as an application for interlocutory appeal to this Court upon finding it did not have jurisdiction. See Case No. S23I0913 (May 25, 2023). We, however, also lack jurisdiction.
Stanley has also filed a direct appeal. See A23A1577.
Because this case remains pending below, the trial court's orders are interlocutory. See Howard v. State, 194 Ga.App. 857 (392 S.E.2d 562) (1990). To appeal the orders, Stanley was required to comply with the interlocutory appeal procedure, including obtaining a certificate of immediate review from the trial court. See OCGA § 5-6-34 (b). Stanley did not obtain a certificate of immediate review from the trial court within ten days of entry of the orders she wishes to appeal. Stanley's failure to do so deprives us of jurisdiction to consider this application, which is hereby DISMISSED. See Mullinax v. State, 271 Ga. 112 (1) (515 S.E.2d 839) (1999); Howard, 194 Ga.App. at 857.
