Opinion
A94A2457.
DECIDED NOVEMBER 15, 1994.
Motion to suppress. Murray Superior Court. Before Judge Boyett.
Jack O. Partain III, District Attorney, Kermit N. McManus, Assistant District Attorney, for appellant.
Little Adams, Robert B. Adams, for appellee.
The State appeals the trial court's order granting appellee William Bradford Wilbanks' motion to suppress in the revocation of probation hearing below as a direct appeal of a ruling in a criminal case pursuant to OCGA § 5-7-1 (a) (4).
Inasmuch as a revocation of probation hearing is not a criminal proceeding, Smith v. State, 171 Ga. App. 279, 281 ( 319 S.E.2d 113) (1984), we lack direct appeal jurisdiction in the case at bar. OCGA § 5-7-1 (a). Jurisdiction lies upon application only. OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (5). Rebich v. Miles, 264 Ga. 467, 468-469 ( 448 S.E.2d 192) (1994). See also Boyle v. State, 190 Ga. App. 734 ( 380 S.E.2d 57) (1989).
Case dismissed. Birdsong, P. J., and Ruffin, J., concur.
