Orgertrice v. Nash

450 S.E.2d 708, 215 Ga. App. 119, 94 Fulton County D. Rep. 3599, 1994 Ga. App. LEXIS 1153

Opinion

Birdsong, Presiding Judge.

Appellant William O. Orgertrice, Jr., has filed a direct appeal from the final judgment of the state court entering judgment in favor of appellant after reducing the jury verdict of $5,348.78 by set-off in the amount of $4,600.

This case arose as a suit for damages as a result of injuries allegedly sustained in an automobile collision; therefore, as this is an appeal from an action in damages in which the judgment is $10,000 or less, appellant was required to follow the discretionary appeals procedure. OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (6). Accordingly, this appeal must be dismissed for failure to comply with OCGA § 5-6-35. See generally CaShar, Inc. v. McKesson Corp., 204 Ga. App. 865 (420 SE2d 810); Heuer Indus. v. Crum, 202 Ga. App. 675 (415 SE2d 307).

Appeal dismissed.

Blackburn and Ruffin, JJ., concur.
