Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ February 01, 2016

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A16A0801. ANDRE RICO PERKINSON v. THE STATE.

Andre Perkinson pled guilty to sale and distribution of cocaine and possession of cocaine and was allowed to serve the majority of his sentence on probation. The trial court revoked his probation after he violated the conditions thereof. Perkinson then filed this direct appeal. We lack jurisdiction. An application for discretionary review is required to appeal a probation revocation order. OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (5); Andrews v. State, 276 Ga. App. 428, 430- 431 & n. 3 (1) (623 SE2d 247) (2005). Perkinson’s failure to comply with the discretionary review procedure deprives us of jurisdiction to consider this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
