DECIDED NOVEMBER 9, 1972.

Appellate jurisdiction. Catoosa Superior Court. Before Judge Coker.

Napoleon Pollard, pro se. Earl B. Self, District Attorney, William Ralph Hill, Jr., for appellee.


The Court of Appeals has jurisdiction to decide questions of law that involve the application, in a general sense, of unquestioned and unambiguous provisions of the Constitution to a given state of facts and that do not involve construction of some constitutional provision directly in question and doubtful either under its own terms or under the decisions of the Supreme Court of Georgia or the Supreme Court of the United States. Howle v. Personnel Bd. of App. of City of East Point, 226 Ga. 169 ( 173 S.E.2d 220). Since the constitutional question presented in this appeal does not involve the construction of some constitutional provision directly in question and doubtful either under its own terms or under the decisions of the Supreme Court of Georgia or the Supreme Court of the United States, this appeal is

Transferred to the Court of Appeals. All the Justices concur.

SUBMITTED OCTOBER 10, 1972 — DECIDED NOVEMBER 9, 1972.
