Court of Appeals of Georgia August 18, 2003, A03A1339 (Howse v. State)

Barnes, Judge.

Edward Howse appeals from the trial court’s order denying his motion for an out-of-time appeal. For the reasons that follow, we vacate the trial court’s order and remand this case with direction.

This appeal has a confused appellate history. In January 2000, Howse was convicted of and sentenced for molesting his 14-year-old half-sister.
