THE STATE v. JONES.
(398 SE2d 865)
Decided October 22, 1990.
Joseph H. Briley, District Attorney, James L. Cline, Jr., Assistant District Attorney, for appellant.
H. Samuel Atkins, Jr., for appellee.

Opinion:
Banke, Presiding Judge.
The state brings this appeal from an order granting the defendant's motion for a directed verdict of acquittal in a prosecution for selling cocaine. "The government cannot appeal such a directed verdict of acquittal, even if it is erroneously granted." State v. Williams, 246 Ga. 788, 789 (272 SE2d 725) (1980). The appeal is therefore dismissed.
Appeal dismissed.
Birdsong and Cooper, JJ., concur.
