William Patrick Thomas v. State

Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,____________________
April 12, 2021
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A21A1100. WILLIAM PATRICK THOMAS v. THE STATE.
On December 16, 2020, the trial court entered its order of revocation after the
State moved to revoke William Patrick Thomas’s probation. Thomas filed a notice
of appeal from the trial court’s order. We, however, lack jurisdiction.
An application for discretionary appeal is required to appeal an order revoking
probation. OCGA § 5-6- 35 (a) (5); see Todd v. State, 236 Ga. App. 757, 758 (513
SE2d 287) (1999) (holding that where the underlying subject matter is probation
revocation, the discretionary appeal procedure applies); accord White v. State, 233
Ga. App. 873, 874 (505 SE2d 228) (1998). Thomas’s failure to follow the required
appellate procedure deprives us of jurisdiction. Accordingly, this appeal is hereby
DISMISSED.
