Taurus Tyrone Ackey v. State

Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,____________________
February 24, 2015
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A15A1043. TAURUS TYRONE ACKEY v. THE STATE.
On September 19, 2014, the trial court entered an order dismissing Taurus
Tyrone Ackey’s motion to withdraw his guilty plea. On October 27, 2014, Ackey
filed a notice of appeal to this Court. To be timely, a notice of appeal must be filed
within 30 days after entry of the appealable order. See 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. Jaheni v. State, 281 Ga. App. 213, 214 (635 SE2d 821)
(2006). Because Ackey filed his notice of appeal 38 days after entry of the trial
court’s order, this appeal is untimely. Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED
for lack of jurisdiction.
