Charles Knox, III v. State ( 2022 )

Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,____________________
March 25, 2022
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A22A1106. CHARLES KNOX, III v. THE STATE.
In 2003, Charles Knox pled guilty to manslaughter and other charges and was
given a partially probated sentence. In 2013, the trial court revoked the balance of
Knox’s probation upon finding that he had committed new criminal offenses. In 2021,
Knox filed a pro se motion to vacate the sentence entered on his probation revocation.
The trial court denied the motion, and Knox appeals. We lack jurisdiction.
Because the underlying subject matter of this appeal is the revocation of
Knox’s probation, he was required to file an application for discretionary review in
this Court in order to appeal the trial court’s ruling. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (5); Todd
v. State, 236 Ga. App. 757, 758 (513 SE2d 287) (1999). Knox’s failure to file a
discretionary application deprives us of jurisdiction over this direct appeal, which is
hereby DISMISSED.
