COLLIER v. STATE OF GEORGIA et al.
(348 SE2d 655)
Decided September 3, 1986.
Jerry Larry Collier, pro se.

Opinion:
Smith, Justice.
This case involves a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel a superior court judge to act on an out-of-time motion for new trial.
In view of the fact that this is a direct application to this Court for a writ of mandamus, this case is controlled by Brown v. Johnson, 251 Ga. 436 (306 SE2d 655) (1983), and the petition is therefore dismissed.
Petition for Writ Dismissed.
All the Justices concur.
Michael J. Bowers, Attorney General, for appellees.
