Cory Rogers v. Vinings Central Condominium Association, Inc.

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,_________________ August 23, 2012

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A12A2489. CORY ROGERS v. VININGS CENTRAL CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC.

Vinings Central Condominium Association, Inc. sued Cory Rogers, seeking to recover past-due assessments and other charges. The trial court granted summary judgment to Vinings Central, awarding a judgment of $6,965.50, plus $312.50 in costs. Rogers then appealed directly to this Court. However, the discretionary appeal procedure is required where a money judgment in an action for damages totals $10,000.00 or less. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (6). Because Rogers failed to follow the required procedure, his appeal is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. See Hill v. Rose Electric Co., 220 Ga. App. 603 (469 SE2d 844) (1996).
