Supreme Court of Georgia

Hollmon v. the State.

February 4, 2019305 Ga. 90

Summary

The court held that the trial court lacked authority to resentence Hollmon on a criminal-attempt count that had been vacated by operation of law in the earlier appeal. Because the resentencing was a nullity, Hollmon could not pursue a motion for new trial from that resentencing, and the trial court properly dismissed his claims concerning the indictment and trial counsel's effectiveness. The sentencing order was vacated, while the dismissal of the motion was affirmed.
