FRANKLIN v. RECORDER’S COURT, CITY OF ALBANY, 174 Ga. App. 498 (1985)

330 S.E.2d 429

FRANKLIN v. RECORDER’S COURT, CITY OF ALBANY.

70069.Court of Appeals of Georgia.
DECIDED APRIL 4, 1985.

BANKE, Chief Judge.

Appellant Ulysses Franklin filed a direct appeal to this court from an apparent misdemeanor conviction rendered against him by the Recorder’s Court of the City of Albany. (The order of the lower court does not actually appear in the record forwarded to this court.)

The proper method for obtaining review of a decision of a recorder’s court is either by direct appeal to the superior court, in the case of traffic violations (OCGA § 40-13-28), or by application for certiorari to the superior court. (OCGA §§ 5-4-1, 5-4-3). See City of Adairsville v. Barton, 159 Ga. App. 810
(285 S.E.2d 581) (1981). This court does not have jurisdiction over a direct appeal from the decision of the Recorder’s Court of the City of Albany. See Ga. L. 1923, pp. 370, 397; Ferrell v. State, 160 Ga. App. 881 (289 S.E.2d 3) (1982).

Appeal dismissed. McMurray, P. J., and Benham, J., concur.

DECIDED APRIL 4, 1985.
Appeal dismissal. Albany Recorder’s Court. Before Judge Steward.

Ulysses Franklin, pro se.
Timothy O. Davis, Loring A. Gray, Jr., for appellee.
