Billie Davis, pro se.
H. Lamar Cole, Dist. Atty., for appellee.
The appellant, Billie Elzie Davis, was convicted of voluntary manslaughter on April 27, 1981. On December 2, 1986, the appellant filed an extraordinary motion for new trial based on newly discovered evidence, which was found to be without merit and dismissed by the trial court on December 4, 1986. The appellant then filed this direct appeal from that order. Appeals from orders denying extraordinary motions for new trial, when separate from an original appeal, are now discretionary appeals. OCGA § 5-6-35(a)(7); Pitts v. State, 254 Ga. 298, 328 S.E.2d 732 (1985). Accordingly, this direct appeal is dismissed.
Appeal dismissed.
