Hinnson Cook v. State

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia May 22, 2014 ATLANTA,__________________ The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A14A1651. HINNSON COOK v. THE STATE. Hinnson Cook filed this direct appeal from the trial court’s order denying his motion to dismiss the indictment on constitutional speedy trial grounds. But in Sosniak v. State, 292 Ga. 35 (2) ( 734 SE2d 362 ) (2012), the Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that such an order is not directly appealable and that a defendant must follow the interlocutory appeal procedures of OCGA § 5-6-34 (b) to obtain immediate appellate review. See also Stevens v. State, 292 Ga. 218 ( 734 SE2d 743 ) (2012). Because Cook failed to follow the required appellate procedure, his appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
