In the Interest Of: D. O. W., a Child (Father)

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,__________________ September 13, 2013

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A14A0025. IN THE INTEREST OF: D. O. W., A CHILD (FATHER).

The father of D. O. W. has filed a direct appeal from the juvenile court’s order terminating his 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 father’s failure to file an application for discretionary review deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
