Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ March 14, 2018

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A18A1333. CHARLENE BEATTY v. FENNA LIFE, LLC.

This case began as a dispossessory proceeding in magistrate court. After the magistrate court issued a writ of possession in favor of plaintiff Fenna Life, LLC, Charlene Beatty appealed to the superior court. The superior court also entered a writ of possession in favor of Fenna Life, and Beatty filed this appeal. We, however, lack jurisdiction. “[A]ppeals from decisions of the superior courts reviewing decisions of lower courts by certiorari or de novo proceedings shall be by application for discretionary appeal.” Bullock v. Sand, 260 Ga. App. 874, 875 (581 SE2d 333) (2003); see also OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1). Because Beatty did not follow the proper procedure for requesting appellate review in this case, we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
