Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

May 16, 2013 ATLANTA,__________________

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A13A1756. IN THE INTEREST OF: D. B., L. J., AND J. J., CHILDREN (MOTHER).

Anna Jackson, the mother of minor children D. B., L. J., and J. J., has filed a direct appeal from the juvenile court’s order terminating her parental rights. We lack jurisdiction. Pursuant to OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (12), appeals from orders terminating parental rights must be made by filing an application for discretionary appeal. See In the Interest of K. R., 285 Ga. 155 (674 SE2d 288) (2009). The mother’s failure to file an application for discretionary review deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
