Cunningham v. State
Supreme Court of Georgia
Decided June 18, 1974No. 28906PublishedCited by 21 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
Undercofler, Justice.
The Court of Appeals dismissed this criminal appeal because the judgment had not been entered when the appeal was filed. The Court of Appeals relied upon Bonzheim v. Bonzheim, 227 Ga. 478 (181 SE2d 363) in which this court held that a judgment could not be considered appealable until it was actually entered.
The applicant, however, contends that she has been denied due process and equal protection of law under the Federal and Georgia Constitutions (Code § 1-815, Code Ann. §§ 2-102, 2-103) because of a procedural mistake of her attorney.
