Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ May 16, 2018

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A18A1515. ISAAC JAMALL SPANN v. WESTLAKE SERVICES, LLC.

Westlake Services, LLC filed a suit on contract against Isaac Jamall Spann. The trial court entered a judgment in Westlake’s favor in the amount of $7,760.99 plus court costs. Spann then filed this direct appeal. We, however, lack jurisdiction. Where a money judgment in an action for damages totals $10,000.00 or less, a party must follow the discretionary appeal procedures to obtain appellate review. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (6). Because Spann failed to follow the required procedure, his appeal is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. See Hill v. Rose Electric Co., 220 Ga. App. 603 (469 SE2d 844) (1996).
