When a trial court grants a criminal defendant's motion for new trial in part on grounds other than sufficiency of the evidence, the case is not final for purposes of filing a direct appeal. See Gonzales v. State, 315 Ga. 661, 663 (1) (a) (884 S.E.2d 339) (2023); see also State v. White, 354 Ga.App. 214, 215 (840 S.E.2d 697) (2020) ("Generally, an order is final and appealable when it leaves no issues remaining to be resolved, constitutes the court's final ruling on the merits of the action, and leaves the parties with no further recourse in the trial court.")
