Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ October 22, 2024

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A25D0075. SAMUEL REYNOLDS v. BRIDGETT REYNOLDS.

On September 26, 2024, Samuel Reynolds filed this application for discretionary review of the trial court’s family violence ex parte protective order entered on August 23, 2024. We, however, lack jurisdiction because the application is untimely. To be timely, 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). As this application was filed 34 days after entry of the order at issue, it is untimely and is hereby DISMISSED. See Crosson v. Conway, 291 Ga. 220, 220 (1) (728 SE2d 617) (2012); see also Boyle v. State, 190 Ga. App. 734, 734 (380 SE2d 57) (1989) (“The requirements of OCGA § 5-6-35 are jurisdictional and this [C]ourt cannot accept an appeal not made in compliance therewith.”).
