300 Ga. 633

FINAL COPY

S16G0931. ROBERSON v. THE STATE.

GRANT, Justice.

The question in this appeal is not whether indigent persons are entitled to

a free copy of the transcript of trial proceedings on appeal; they are. Instead, the

question presented here is who makes the determination of indigence in the first

instance, and whether that decision is itself reviewable on appeal.
