Boggs, Judge.

¶1Glendon Morris filed a direct appeal from the trial court’s denial of his pre-trial plea in bar based upon an alleged violation of his constitutional right to a speedy trial. The Supreme Court of Georgia has recently ruled, however, that such a claim is not directly appeal-able and that a defendant must follow the interlocutory appeal procedures of OCGA § 5-6-34 (b). Sosniak v. State, 292 Ga. 35, 36 (2) (734 SE2d 362) (2012). Morris’s appeal is therefore dismissed. See Stevens v. State, 292 Ga. 218 (734 SE2d 743) (2012).

¶2Appeal dismissed.
