Ronald Domond v. State

Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________
April 24, 2026

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A26D0453. RONALD DOMOND v. THE STATE.

On March 31, 2026, Ronald Domond filed this application for discretionary
review of the trial court’s February 17, 2026 order denying his pro se motion to
reinstate out-of-time appeal rights. We, however, lack jurisdiction. An application for
discretionary review must be filed within 30 days of entry of the order to be appealed.
OCGA § 5-6-35(d). This statutory deadline is jurisdictional, and we cannot accept an
application for appeal not made in compliance with it. Boyle v. State, 190 Ga. App. 734,
734 (380 SE2d 57) (1989). Because Domond filed this application 42 days after entry
of the order he seeks to appeal, it is untimely and is hereby DISMISSED.1

Domond attempted to file his application earlier, but this Court rejected that
submission for failure to include a stamped “filed” copy of the trial court’s order. See
Court of Appeals Rule 31(c) (“Discretionary applications must contain a stamped
‘filed’ copy of the trial court’s order or judgment from which the appeal is sought. ...
The Court will return any application not containing a stamped ‘filed’ copy of the trial
court order ....”).
