Dwight Wilson v. State

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ September 27, 2013 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A14A0102. DWIGHT WILSON v. THE STATE. Dwight Wilson was convicted of child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, and aggravated child molestation in 1996, and his convictions were affirmed on appeal. See Wilson v. State, 229 Ga. App. 541 ( 494 SE2d 238 ) (1997). In 2006, Wilson filed a motion to set aside judgment on plea in bar. The trial court denied the motion and a motion to reconsider the motion to set aside in 2007. Six years later, Wilson filed a motion for an extraordinary new trial, which the trial court denied. Wilson seeks to appeal this ruling. We lack jurisdiction. Pursuant to OCGA 5-6-35 (a) (7), orders denying extraordinary motions for new trial must be appealed by application for discretionary appeal. See Balkcom v. State, 227 Ga. App. 327, 329 ( 489 SE2d 129 ) (1997). We have no jurisdiction to consider a direct appeal on this matter, and Wilson’s appeal is therefore DISMISSED.
