Alfondzoe Swain v. State

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ June 16, 2020 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A20A1855. ALFONDZOE SWAIN v. THE STATE. Alfondzoe Swain appeals the trial court’s order denying his motion for credit for time served in confinement. The proper method for challenging credit for time served is through a mandamus action against prison officials. See Warbington v. State, 303 Ga. 649, 651 ( 814 SE2d 351 ) (2018). Such a motion filed in a criminal case is a nullity, which presents nothing to appeal. See id. Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
