Dusty Hamilton v. State

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ June 12, 2019 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A19A1145. DUSTY HAMILTON v. THE STATE. Dusty Hamilton appeals the trial court’s order denying his motion for credit for time served. 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.
