Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ July 28, 2017

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A17A1892. WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (INC.) v. DAVID B. PHARIS.

Wells Fargo Bank filed this direct appeal from the state court’s order granting the traverse of garnishment filed by David B. Pharis and entering judgment in his favor. Appeals in cases involving garnishment, however, must be initiated by an application for discretionary appeal filed with this Court. OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (4) and (b); Maloy v. Ewing, 226 Ga. App. 490, 491 (486 SE2d 708) (1997). Because Wells Fargo Bank failed to follow the required procedure, this appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
