Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ January 06, 2025

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A25D0174. TIERNEY GERMANY v. THE COBBS CREEK APARTMENTS.

After Tierney Germany failed to pay unpaid rent into the court registry, the trial court dismissed her petition for review on October 29, 2024. Germany then filed this application on December 12. We lack jurisdiction. Appeals from judgments in dispossessory actions must be filed within seven days of the date the judgment was entered. See OCGA § 44-7-56; Radio Sandy Springs, Inc. v. Allen Road Joint Venture, 311 Ga. App. 334, 335-336 (715 SE2d 752) (2011). The deadlines for filing applications for discretionary review are jurisdictional, and this Court cannot accept an application not made in compliance with the applicable deadline. See Boyle v. State, 190 Ga. App. 734, 734 (380 SE2d 57) (1989). Germany’s application for discretionary review is untimely because it was filed 44 days after the order was entered. See OCGA § 44-7-56; Radio Sandy Springs, 311 Ga. App. at 335-336. Accordingly, the application for discretionary review is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. See Boyle, 190 Ga. App. at 734.

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia Clerk’s Office, Atlanta,____________________ 01/06/2025 I certify that the above is a true extract from the minutes of the Court of Appeals of Georgia. Witness my signature and the seal of said court hereto affixed the day and year last above written.
