Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ February 17, 2017

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A17A1101. MILDRED DAVIS et al. v. PENNYMAC CORP.

This case began as a dispossessory proceeding in magistrate court. After the magistrate court entered judgment in favor of PennyMac Corp., Mildred Davis appealed to the superior court. The superior court issued a writ of possession, and Davis thereafter filed this notice of appeal. We, however, lack jurisdiction. “[A]ppeals from decisions of the superior courts reviewing decisions of lower courts by certiorari or de novo proceedings shall be by application for discretionary appeal.” Bullock v. Sand, 260 Ga. App. 874, 875 (581 SE2d 333) (2003); see also OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1). Because Davis did not follow the proper procedure for requesting appellate review in this case, we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
