Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,__________________ July 11, 2013

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A13A2038. THOMPSON LAW, LLC v. TBF FINANCIAL, LLC.

Thompson Law, LLC, filed this direct appeal from an order denying its motion to set aside a foreign default judgment, which was domesticated in this State. According to Thompson Law, the foreign court lacked personal jurisdiction. A motion to set aside based upon lack of jurisdiction is governed by OCGA § 9-11-60 (d). And an order denying a motion to set aside under OCGA § 9-11-60 (d) is subject to the discretionary appeal procedure. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (8); Marshall v. Gatison, 197 Ga. App. 370 (398 SE2d 429) (1990). Because Thompson Law failed to follow the proper appellate procedure, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
