dissenting.
I dissent from the denial of this habeas corpus matter on the merits because petitioner did not “file a written application for a certificate of probable cause to appeal with the Clerk of the Supreme Court within thirty days of the entry of the order denying him relief,” as required by OCGA § 9-14-52 (b). Accordingly, I would dismiss.
I am authorized to state that Justice Hines joins in this dissent.
