Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ November 08, 2022

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A23D0100. ROBERT THRASHER v. THE STATE.

Robert Thrasher has filed an application for discretionary appeal, seeking review of a trial court order that dismissed his petition for a writ of mandamus and his motion for summary judgment.1 The trial court entered its order on August 23, 2022, and Thrasher filed this application on October 18, 2022. We lack jurisdiction. An application for discretionary review must be filed within 30 days of entry of the order or judgment to be appealed. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (d). Compliance with the time requirements of OCGA § 5-6-35 is jurisdictional, and this Court cannot accept an application for appeal not made in compliance therewith. See Gable v. State, 290 Ga. 81, 82 (2) (a) (720 SE2d 170) (2011); Boyle v. State, 190 Ga. App. 734, 734 (380 SE2d 57) (1989). Thrasher’s application, filed 56 days after entry of the order he seeks to appeal, is untimely. Accordingly, this application is hereby DISMISSED.

1 In a prior direct appeal, this Court affirmed Thrasher’s convictions. Thrasher v. State, 261 Ga. App. 650 (583 SE2d 504) (2003).
