Thomas F. Jeffress, Jr. v. State

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ January 30, 2018 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A18A0922. THOMAS F. JEFFRESS, JR. v. THE STATE. Following his convictions for armed robbery, kidnapping, and aggravated assault, Thomas F. Jeffress, Jr., was sentenced to life imprisonment. In 2011, we affirmed his convictions in an unpublished decision. See Jeffress v. State, Case No. A11A0223 (affirmed May 10, 2011). In 2017, Jeffress filed a pro se motion to supplement the record in the trial court, which the trial court denied. Jeffress then filed this appeal. The State has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal. We lack jurisdiction because the issue Jeffress seeks to raise is now moot. See OCGA § 5-6-48 (b) (3). Once appellate review has been concluded, a party may not seek to supplement the trial court record. See Jennings v. State, 277 Ga. App. 71 ( 625 SE2d 492 ) (2005). Here, we have already affirmed Jeffress’s convictions, and therefore his request to supplement the record is moot. Accordingly, the State’s motion to dismiss is hereby GRANTED, and this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
