Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,__________________ November 06, 2013

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A14A0369. MARVIN BRYAN v. AMEEDAH TAYLOR.

The trial court entered default judgment in favor of Marvin Bryan against Ameedah Taylor in the amount of $844.99, plus post-judgment interest. Bryan filed a notice of appeal to this Court. We lack jurisdiction. The discretionary appeal procedure is required where – as here – a money judgment in an action for damages totals $10,000.00 or less. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (6); Hill v. Rose Electric Co., 220 Ga. App. 603 (469 SE2d 844) (1996). Because Bryan failed to follow the discretionary appeal procedure, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
