Supreme Court of Georgia

Joseph v. Ingram (and Vice Versa)

May 13, 2025321 Ga. 559

Summary

The court vacated the habeas court’s order granting Ingram an out-of-time appeal because the record did not establish that his conviction was final or that his motion to withdraw his guilty plea had been denied. It remanded for supplementation of the record and a determination whether the motion remained pending, which would make the habeas petition premature. Ingram’s cross-appeal was dismissed as moot because the order was vacated in its entirety.
