Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ April 06, 2015

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15A1131. TERRANCE ROSS v. FEDERAL HOME LOAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION.

This case began as a dispossessory action in magistrate court. Following an adverse ruling, defendant Terrance Ross appealed to the superior court, which also ruled in favor of the plaintiff. Ross then filed this direct appeal. We lack jurisdiction. “[A]ppeals from decisions of the superior courts reviewing decisions of lower courts by certiorari or de novo proceedings shall be by application for discretionary appeal.” Bullock v. Sand, 260 Ga. App. 874, 875 (581 SE2d 333) (2003); see also OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1). Because Ross did not follow the proper procedure for requesting appellate review in this case, we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
