Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                       ATLANTA,____________________
                                                April 22, 2024

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A24D0319. JUSTIN ALAN JONES v. THE STATE.

         Justin Alan Jones has filed an application for discretionary review of the
superior court’s order denying his motion to dismiss based on an alleged violation of
his statutory right to a speedy trial. The denial of a motion to dismiss based on a
statutory speedy trial demand is directly appealable. See Hubbard v. State, 254 Ga.
694, 695-696 (333 SE2d 827) (1985). Because the superior court’s order appears to be
subject to direct appeal, we hereby GRANT Jones’s application for appeal. See
OCGA § 5-6-35 (j). Jones shall have ten days from the date of this order to file his
notice of appeal in the superior court, if he has not already done so. The superior
court is instructed to include a copy of this order in the record transmitted to this
court.
