Lawrence Edward Madison v. State ( 2016 )

Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,____________________
August 18, 2016
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A16A1346. LAWRENCE MADISON v. THE STATE
Lawrence Madison seeks to appeal an order dismissing his motion to recuse
the judge presiding in his case. However, we lack jurisdiction. An appeal from a
motion to recuse may only be taken by application for interlocutory appeal. See
Murphy v. Murphy, 322 Ga. App. 829, 830 (747 SE2d 21) (2013); Ellis v. Stanford,
256 Ga. App. 294, 295-96 (2) (568 SE2d 157) (2002). In order to appeal such an
order, an applicant must comply with the interlocutory appeal procedure and obtain
a certificate of immediate review. See OCGA § 5-6-34 (b). Because Madison failed
to follow the required appellate procedure, this direct appeal is hereby DISMISSED
for lack of jurisdiction.
