Opinion
Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,____________________ December 12, 2023
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A24A0655. JOHNNY JOHNSON v. THE STATE OF GEORGIA.
Johnny Johnson filed this direct appeal of the superior court’s order denying his petition for removal from the sex offender registry under OCGA § 42-1-19. However, OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (5.2) provides that “[a]ppeals from decisions of superior courts granting or denying petitions for release pursuant to Code Section 42-1-19” must be taken by application for discretionary appeal. “Compliance with the discretionary appeals procedure is jurisdictional.” Smoak v. Dept. of Human Resources, 221 Ga. App. 257, 257 (471 SE2d 60) (1996). Johnson’s failure to follow the discretionary appeals procedure deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia Clerk’s Office, Atlanta,____________________ 12/12/2023 I certify that the above is a true extract from the minutes of the Court of Appeals of Georgia. Witness my signature and the seal of said court hereto affixed the day and year last above written.
, Clerk.
