ATLANTA,____________________
November 06, 2026
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A27A0819. MYRONE LATRONE BAILEY v. THE STATE.
Myrone Latrone Bailey was convicted of malice murder and other crimes and
sentenced to life plus twenty-five years in prison. He filed a motion for new trial,
which the trial court denied, and he has filed an appeal in this Court.
The Supreme Court of Georgia currently exercises jurisdiction over all โnon-
death-penalty murder appeals,โ and this Court is required to transfer such cases. See
Hart v. State, 322 Ga. 1, 10(1) (917 SE2d 631) (2025). See also Coleman v. State, __
Ga. __ (934 SE2d 378) (2026) (announcing the Supreme Courtโs intent to cease
exercising direct appellate jurisdiction in non-death-penalty murder cases docketed
after July 1, 2027). Accordingly, we hereby TRANSFER this appeal to the Supreme
Court for disposition.
