Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                         ATLANTA,____________________
                                                  April 11, 2024

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A24I0168. CHAD BRAGG v. THE STATE.

      After the trial court denied Chad Bragg’s motion to suppress evidence seized
in this criminal case, Bragg filed a motion for reconsideration, which the trial court
denied on March 20, 2024. On March 25, 2024, the trial court issued a certificate of
immediate review of its March 20 order. Bragg filed this application for interlocutory
appeal on April 5, 2024. We lack jurisdiction.
      Under OCGA § 5-6-34 (b), an application for interlocutory appeal must be filed
within ten days of the trial court’s certificate of immediate review. See Genter v. State,
218 Ga. App. 311 (460 SE2d 879) (1995). The statutory requirements for interlocutory
review are jurisdictional. State v. Wheeler, 310 Ga. 72, 76 (3) (849 SE2d 401) (2020).
Because Bragg filed the instant application eleven days after the trial court entered its
certificate of immediate review, his application is untimely. Accordingly, this
application is hereby DISMISSED.
