Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                       ATLANTA,____________________
                                                June 23, 2020

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A20A1947. TRAVION TERRELL HALL v. THE STATE.

      In 2016, Travion Terrell Hall pled guilty to possession of a telecommunications
device by an inmate, interference with government property, escape, and crossing the
guard lines with drugs.1 In 2019, Hall filed a “Motion to Set Aside-Vacate for Lack
of Jurisdiction.” The trial court dismissed the motion, and Hall filed this appeal.
      A post-conviction motion seeking to vacate an allegedly void conviction is not
a valid procedure in a criminal case, and any appeal from the denial or dismissal of
such a motion must be dismissed. See Williams v. State, 287 Ga. 192, 194 (695 SE2d
244) (2010); Roberts v. State, 286 Ga. 532, 532 (690 SE2d 150) (2010). Accordingly,
Hall’s appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
