Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                       ATLANTA,____________________
                                                 December 11, 2015

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A16A0510. MEREDITH STEPHENS ASHWORTH v. THE STATE.

      On September 16, 2015, the trial court entered an order denying Meredith
Ashworth’s motion to suppress. Ashworth filed a notice of appeal to this Court,
however, we lack jurisdiction.
       The order denying the motion to suppress is not a final appealable decision
within the meaning of OCGA § 5-6-34 (a). Accordingly, Ashworth was required to
follow the interlocutory appeal procedure outlined in OCGA § 5-6-34 (b) and, after
obtaining a certificate of immediate review from the trial court, was required to file
a timely application for interlocutory review in this Court. See OCGA § 5-6-34 (b);
Court of Appeals Rule 30. Because Ashworth failed to comply with interlocutory
procedures, we lack jurisdiction, and this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
