ATLANTA,____________________
October 07, 2026
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A27A0246. PIERRE JENKINS v. THE STATE.
In 2010, Pierre Jenkins pleaded guilty to armed robbery and other crimes, and
he was sentenced to 25 years, to serve 12 years. In 2026, he filed a pro se request for
credit for time served, which the trial court dismissed. From that order, Jenkins filed
this direct appeal. This Court, however, lacks jurisdiction.
As explained by the Supreme Court of Georgia, “the amount of credit is to be
computed by the convict’s pre-sentence custodian, and the duty to award the credit
for time served prior to trial is upon the Department of Corrections. The trial court
is therefore not involved in this matter.” Warbington v. State, 303 Ga. 649, 650 (814
SE2d 351) (2018) (quotation marks omitted). For this reason, a motion for credit for
time served filed in a criminal case is a nullity, which presents nothing to appeal. See
id. at 651. Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
