Opinion
Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,__________________ May 06, 2014
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A14D0325. MILTON LEE TERRY v. THE STATE.
On December 9, 2013, the trial court entered an order denying Milton Lee Terry’s “Motion to Enter a Valid Judgment/Sentence.” On February 25, 2014, Terry filed this application for discretionary appeal in the Supreme Court, which later transferred it here. We, however, lack jurisdiction. Pursuant to OCGA § 5-6-35 (d), an application for discretionary appeal must be filed within 30 days of entry of the order to be appealed. The requirements of OCGA § 5-6-35 are jurisdictional, and we cannot accept an application not made in compliance therewith. See Crosson v. Conway, 291 Ga. 220, 220-221 (1) (728 SE2d 617) (2012); Moulder v. Reilly, 226 Ga. App. 608 (487 SE2d 142) (1997). Terry filed his application 78 days after entry of the order he seeks to appeal. The application is untimely, and it is therefore DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
