David Disheroon v. Patricia O. Scheuer

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,__________________ March 28, 2013

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A13A1277. DAVID DISHEROON v. PATRICIA O. SCHEUER. A13A1278. DAVID DISHEROON et al v. PATRICIA O. SCHEUER.

On July 5, 2011, this Court granted David Disheroon’s application for discretionary appeal from two separate trial court orders entered on the same day. The order notified Disheroon that he would have 10 days from the date of the order to file his notice of appeal. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (g). Thirteen days later, on July 18, 2011, Disheroon filed two separate notices of appeal, one for each of the trial court orders. The timely filing of a notice of appeal is an absolute requirement to confer jurisdiction on this Court. See White v. White, 188 Ga. App. 556 (373 SE2d 824) (1988). Because Disheroon failed to file his notices of appeal within 10 days of our order granting his application, his notices of appeal are untimely. Accordingly, these appeals are DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. See Barnes v. Justis, 223 Ga. App. 671 (478 SE2d 402) (1996); OCGA § 5-6-35 (g).
