State v. Moises Herrera-Bustamante

Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,____________________
January 02, 2018
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A18A0872. THE STATE v. MOISES HERRERA-BUSTAMANTE.
Following a jury trial, Moises Herrera-Bustamante was convicted of driving
under the influence and carrying an open container of alcohol in a vehicle. The trial
court granted Herrera-Bustamante’s motion for new trial, finding that his refusal to
submit to a breath test, admitted at trial pursuant to Georgia’s implied consent
statutes, violated his constitutional right against self-incrimination in light of the
recent decision in Olevik v. State, Case No. S17A0738, 2017 WL 4582402 (Ga. Oct.
16, 2017).
The State filed a notice of appeal to the Georgia Supreme Court. The record
was mistakenly transmitted to this Court and docketed. The State has filed a motion
to transfer, highlighting that it directed its notice of appeal to the Georgia Supreme
Court. Accordingly, the State’s motion to transfer is GRANTED and this appeal is
hereby TRANSFERRED to the Georgia Supreme Court for disposition.
