Dionne Wilson v. Ella Kirillova

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ July 02, 2026

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A26D0562. DIONNE WILSON v. ELLA KIRILLOVA.

Dionne Wilson applies for discretionary review of a trial court’s grant of a temporary protective order against him based on stalking under OCGA § 16-5-94. This court has “consistently treated stalking protective orders as directly appealable.” Bruno v. Light, 344 Ga. App. 799, 800 n.2 (811 SE2d 500) (2018). This case does not arise from a domestic relations matter that would otherwise subject it to the discretionary appeal procedures of OCGA § 5-6-35(a)(2).

This Court will grant a timely discretionary application if the lower court’s order is directly appealable. OCGA § 5-6-35(j). Accordingly, this application is hereby GRANTED. Wilson shall have ten days from the date of this order to file a notice of appeal with the trial court if he has not already done so. OCGA § 5-6-35(g). The clerk of the superior court is DIRECTED to include a copy of this order in the record transmitted to the Court of Appeals.
