Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,__________________ July 14, 2014

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A14A1972. ROSCOE EMORY DEAN, JR. v. MARY DRAWDY DIAZ.

Mary Diaz filed a suit on a note against Roscoe Dean. The trial court entered judgment in favor of Diaz for $5,900. Dean appealed directly to this Court. We lack jurisdiction. Where, as here, the total judgment is $10,000 or less, the aggrieved party must follow the discretionary appeal procedures in OCGA § 5-6-35. See OCGA § 5-6- 35(a) (6). The appellant’s failure to comply with these procedures deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED. See Hill v. Rose Electric Co., 220 Ga. App. 603 (469 SE2d 844) (1996); Klobe v. Montgomery Ward & Co., 178 Ga. App. 164 (342 SE2d 496) (1986).
