Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ October 17, 2014

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15A0291. MICHELLE JONES v. SRP SUB, LLC.

This case originated as a dispossessory proceeding in magistrate court. Following an adverse ruling, Michelle Jones appealed to the superior court. The superior court dismissed the appeal after the defendants failed to appear for the final hearing, and Jones appealed. We lack jurisdiction. Because the superior court’s order disposed of a de novo appeal from a magistrate court decision, Jones was required to follow the discretionary appeal procedure. 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 to consider this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
