Supreme Court of Georgia

Ringold v. State

August 10, 2020309 Ga. 443

Summary

The Court held that Ringold’s pro se motion to withdraw his guilty plea was a legal nullity because he remained represented by counsel when he filed it. His later counsel-filed amendment, submitted outside the applicable term of court, could not cure the defect. The Court vacated the order denying the motion and remanded with instructions to dismiss the pro se filing.
