Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                       ATLANTA,____________________
                                                April 26, 2024

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A24A1356. DANIEL JONES v. THE STATE.

      Daniel Jones pleaded guilty to one count of trafficking in methamphetamine.
In December 2023, Jones filed a motion to vacate or set aside the judgment, asserting
that the trial court lacked subject matter and personal jurisdiction over his criminal
case. The trial court denied the motion, and Jones filed this direct appeal in the
Georgia Supreme Court, which transferred the matter to this Court. See Case No.
S24A0615 (Mar. 19, 2024).
      A post-conviction motion seeking to vacate or set aside an allegedly void
conviction is not a valid procedure in a criminal case, and any appeal from the denial
of such a motion must be dismissed. See Williams v. State, 287 Ga. 192, 192-193 (695
SE2d 244) (2010); Roberts v. State, 286 Ga. 532, 532 (690 SE2d 150) (2010).
Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
