Jerrell Jerry Mathis v. State ( 2017 )

Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,____________________
February 23, 2017
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A17A0793. MATHIS v. THE STATE.
This appeal was docketed with this Court on December 7, 2016. Appellant’s
brief was due to be filed within 20 days of docketing. Court of Appeals Rule 23 (a).
On December 29, 2016, this Court ordered appellant to file an enumeration of error(s)
and brief within ten (10) days or subject the appeal to dismissal.
As of February 7, 2017, appellant has not filed an enumeration of error(s) or
brief as ordered by this Court, and no motion for extension has been filed. Therefore,
this appeal is DISMISSED. Court of Appeals Rule 7, 23 (a).
Because this Court’s records show that Mathis is represented by counsel and
procedural deficiencies have deprived the appellant of the right of appellate review,
he is hereby informed of the following in accordance with Rowland v. State, 264 Ga.
872 (452 SE2d 756) (1995), and Reese v. State, 216 Ga. App. 773 (456 SE2d 271)
(1995):
Your appeal has been DISMISSED because your attorney failed to file
an enumeration of error(s) and brief. If you have decided you do not
want to appeal, you do not need to do anything more. However, if you
do still want to appeal, you may have the right to an OUT-OF-TIME
APPEAL - but YOU MUST TAKE ACTION to exercise that right by
moving for an out-of-time appeal in the trial court. If your motion for an
out-of-time appeal is granted, the trial court should appoint another
attorney for you if you want one and cannot pay for one. If your motion
for an out-of-time appeal is denied, you may file a notice of appeal
within thirty (30) days of the trial court’s decision.
The Clerk of this Court is directed to send a copy of this order to Mathis as
well as his attorney, and the latter is directed to send an additional copy of this order
to Mathis.
