Abdul Rashid Isaac v. State

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ October 29, 2015 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A16A0234. ABDUL RASHID ISAAC v. THE STATE. In 2001, a jury convicted Abdul Isaac of armed robbery, kidnapping with bodily injury, and kidnapping. We affirmed his convictions and sentences on direct appeal. Isaac v. State, 275 Ga. App. 254 ( 620 SE2d 483 ) (2005). Isaac later filed an extraordinary motion for a new trial, which the trial court denied on August 27, 2015. Isaac then filed a notice of appeal to this Court. We lack jurisdiction. An order denying an extraordinary motion for a new trial must be appealed by application for discretionary appeal. OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (7); Balkcom v. State, 227 Ga. App. 327, 329 ( 489 SE2d 129 ) (1997). Thus, Isaac is not entitled to a direct appeal from the order he challenges, and this direct appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
