Alicia Cardwell-Brown v. National Era Servicing LLC

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ July 23, 2015

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15A1679. ALICIA CARDWELL-BROWN v. NATIONAL ERA SERVICING LLC.

This case began as a dispossessory proceeding in magistrate court. Following an adverse ruling, Alicia Cardwell-Brown appealed to the superior court, which dismissed Cardwell-Brown’s appeal for failure to pay rent due into the registry of the court. Because the order at issue disposes of a de novo appeal from a magistrate court decision, Cardwell-Brown was required to follow the discretionary appeal procedures to obtain review before this Court. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (11); Strachan v. Meritor Mtg. Corp. East, 216 Ga. App. 82 (453 SE2d 119) (1995). Her failure to do so deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
