Jeffery Edward Moss v. State ( 2021 )

Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,____________________
December 07, 2021
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A22A0606. JEFFERY EDWARD MOSS v. THE STATE.
A jury found Jeffery Edward Moss guilty of numerous offenses, including
aggravated child molestation, and he was sentenced to life in prison. Moss filed a
motion for an out-of-time appeal, which the trial court denied on August 31, 2021.
On October 13, 2021, Moss filed a notice of appeal. We lack jurisdiction.
To be timely, a notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days after entry of the
order on appeal. OCGA § 5-6-38 (a). The proper and timely filing of a notice of
appeal is an absolute requirement to confer jurisdiction on this Court. Davis v. State,
330 Ga. App. 711, 711 (769 SE2d 133) (2015). Here, Moss’s notice of appeal was
filed 43 days after entry of the trial court’s order. We thus lack jurisdiction over this
appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
