Joseph v. Ingram (and Vice Versa)

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia vacated the lower habeas court’s order granting Antonio Ingram an out‑of‑time appeal and remanded for the parties to supplement the record and determine whether Ingram’s judgment of conviction is final for habeas review. The Court held that the March 3 Order to Enter Sentence does not constitute a denial of Ingram’s motion to withdraw his guilty plea and that, absent a final judgment, the habeas petition was premature.
