Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,__________________ June 25, 2014

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A14A1925. PIERRE R. CAZEAU et al. v. IH2 PROPERTY GEORGIA, L.P.

IH2 Property Georgia filed a dispossessory action in magistrate court against Pierre and Darcy Cazeau. After the magistrate court ruled against them, the Cazueas appealed to the superior court, which entered a final judgment and writ of possession in favor of IH2 Property Georgia. The Cazeaus filed this direct appeal,1 but we lack jurisdiction. Because the order at issue disposes of a de novo appeal from a magistrate court decision, the Cazeaus were required to follow the discretionary appeal procedures. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1); English v. Delbridge, 216 Ga. App. 366, 367 (454 SE2d 175) (1995). Their failure to do so deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
