AUDREY SWANSON v. THE STATE.


The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

Audrey Swanson seeks interlocutory review of a trial court order denying pre-trial bond reduction. We, however, lack jurisdiction.

Swanson filed a "Writ of Certiorari" to the Georgia Supreme Court, which docketed his filing as an application for interlocutory review and transferred the case to this Court. See Case No. S23I0062 (Sept. 1, 2022).

Because this case remains pending below, the trial court's order denying Swanson's motion for bond reduction was interlocutory. See Howard v. State, 194 Ga.App. 857 (392 S.E.2d 562) (1990). To appeal the order, Swanson 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). Swanson did not obtain a certificate of immediate review from the trial court within ten days of entry of the order he wishes to appeal. Swanson'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.
