TAYLOR v. THE STATE.
(738 SE2d 347)

Opinion:
DOYLE, Presiding Judge.
Harry Brett Taylor filed a direct appeal from the trial court's denial of his pre-trial plea in bar based upon an alleged violation of his constitutional right to a speedy trial. The Supreme Court of Georgia has ruled, however, that such a claim is not directly appealable and that a defendant must follow the interlocutory appeal procedures of OCGA § 5-6-34 (b). Taylor's appeal is therefore dismissed.
Appeal dismissed.
McFadden and Boggs, JJ., concur.
