    FORD v. THE STATE.
    (742 SE2d 148)
    Decided April 23, 2013.
    
      Laila A. Kelly, Gerard B. Kleinrock, for appellant.
    
      Robert D. James, Jr., District Attorney, Leslie Miller-Terry, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.
   PHIPPS, Presiding Judge.

Kwambi Ford filed a direct appeal from the trial court’s denial of his motion to dismiss his indictment based upon an alleged violation of his constitutional right to a speedy trial. The Supreme Court of Georgia has recently ruled, however, that such a claim is not directly appealable and that a defendant must follow the interlocutory appeal procedures of OCGA § 5-6-34 (b). Ford’s appeal is therefore dismissed.

Appeal dismissed.

Ellington, C. J., and Branch, J., concur.
