Akash Dixit v. Tanya Dixit

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ June 21, 2018

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A18A1689. AKASH DIXIT v. TANYA DIXIT.

In this divorce case, Akash Dixit has filed both this direct appeal and an application for discretionary review, A18D0481, from the trial court’s order on a third motion for contempt. Because the underlying case is a domestic relations action within the meaning of OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (2), the trial court’s order must be appealed by application for discretionary review. See Norman v. Ault, 287 Ga. 324, 330-331 (6) (695 SE2d 633) (2010) (party was required to file an application for discretionary appeal to obtain review of an order finding him in contempt of a divorce decree). Accordingly, this direct appeal is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
