Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,____________________
January 18, 2017
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A17A0823. STEVE REESE v. THE STATE.
A jury found Steve Reese guilty of enticing a child for indecent purposes and
contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Years later, Reese filed an extraordinary
motion for new trial, which the trial court denied. Reese then filed this direct appeal.
An order denying an extraordinary motion for a new trial must be appealed by
application for discretionary appeal. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (7); Balkcom v. State,
227 Ga. App. 327, 329 (489 SE2d 129) (1997). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction
over this direct appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
