Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ June 18, 2015

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15A1896. ABRAHAM ISAAC COHEN v. DESTINY MEDICAL SERVICES, INC.

Destiny Medical Services, Inc. sued Abraham Isaac Cohen in magistrate court and won a judgment for $1,500.00, plus costs. Cohen appealed to the state court, which entered judgment for Destiny in the amount of $15,000.00, plus interest and costs. Cohen filed a motion for new trial, which the state court denied. Cohen then appealed directly to this Court. Because the order at issue disposes of a de novo appeal from a magistrate court decision, Cohen was required to follow the discretionary appeal procedures to obtain review before this Court. See OCGA § 5-6- 35 (a) (11); Strachan v. Meritor Mortgage Corp. East, 216 Ga. App. 82 (453 SE2d 119) (1995). His failure to do so deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
