Background
William Landrum English filed an application asking the Court of Appeals of Georgia to permit an interlocutory appeal in a criminal case identified below as No. 2025CR001021.
The court’s brief order does not identify the superior court ruling English seeks to challenge, describe the underlying charges, or address the merits of any disputed issue.
The Court’s Holding
The Court of Appeals granted English’s application for interlocutory appeal. The order permits him to file a notice of appeal within 10 days of August 10, 2026.
The court also directed the clerk of the superior court to include a copy of the order in the record transmitted to the Court of Appeals. The order grants appellate review but does not decide the merits of the anticipated appeal.
Key Takeaways
- English may pursue an interlocutory appeal.
- He must file his notice of appeal within 10 days of the order’s date.
- The order addresses only permission to appeal and contains no merits ruling.
Why It Matters
The order allows immediate appellate review before the underlying criminal case reaches a final judgment. Its practical significance depends on the issue presented in the forthcoming appeal, which the order does not disclose.
