Supreme Court of Georgia

Buckner-Webb v. State

September 20, 2022314 Ga. 823

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia held that a trial court’s order denying a motion to withdraw as counsel on conflict‑of‑interest grounds is not immediately appealable under the collateral‑order doctrine, and therefore affirmed the Court of Appeals’ judgment. The Court reasoned that such orders are not “effectively final” and that statutory interlocutory‑appeal procedures remain available.
