Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,_________________ August 28, 2012

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A12A2514. ANITA RHODES v. DEVAN KIMANI BROWN.

Following a car accident, Anita Rhodes sued Devan Kimani Brown in magistrate court. The magistrate court entered judgment in favor of Rhodes, and Rhodes’s uninsured motorist carrier filed a de novo appeal to the state court. The state court dismissed the case, and Rhodes filed this direct appeal. Appeals from state court orders reviewing decisions of the magistrate court, however, must be taken by application for discretionary review. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (11); Salaam v. Nasheed, 220 Ga. App. 43 (469 SE2d 245) (1996). Accordingly, this application is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
