Jennifer Faith Arndt, for appellant.
Layla Hinton Zon, Dist. Atty., Jillian Rachael Hall, Asst. Dist. Atty., for appellee.
BOGGS, Judge. Glendon Morris filed a direct appeal from the trial court's denial of his pre-trial plea in bar based upon an alleged violation of his constitutional right to a speedy trial. The Supreme Court of Georgia has recently ruled, however, that such a claim is not directly appealable and that a defendant must follow the interlocutory appeal procedures of OCGA § 5–6–34(b). Sosniak v. State, 292 Ga. 36(2), 734 S.E.2d 362 (2012). Morris's appeal is therefore dismissed. See Stevens v. State, 292 Ga. 218, 734 S.E.2d 743 (2012).
Appeal dismissed.
DOYLE, P.J., and ANDREWS, J., concur.
