Jennifer Siewert v. J. Craig Nelson

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,__________________ August 22, 2014

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A14A2240. JENNIFER SIEWERT v. J. CRAIG NELSON et al.

This case began as a dispossessory proceeding in magistrate court. After an adverse ruling, defendant Jennifer Siewert appealed the magistrate court’s decision to the superior court. The superior court entered judgment and a writ of possession in favor of J. Craig Nelson and others, and Siewert has appealed that order directly to this Court.

Because the superior court’s order disposes of a de novo appeal from a magistrate court decision, Siewert was required to follow the discretionary appeal procedures. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1); English v. Delbridge, 216 Ga. App. 366, 367 (454 SE2d 175) (1995). Her failure to do so deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
