Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia | ATLANTA,__________________ March 11, 2014

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A14A1141. DIANA A. NOWLIN v. CITIBANK, N.A.

In the underlying action to collect on a credit card debt, the trial court awarded $4,864.92 in principal plus $272.50 in costs to the plaintiff. Defendant Diana A. Nowlin then filed this direct appeal. We lack jurisdiction. 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 Nowlin failed to follow the required procedure, her appeal is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. See Hill v. Rose Electric Co., 220 Ga. App. 603 (469 SE2d 844) (1996).
