Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ February 05, 2015

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15A0934. WENDY SAMPSON v. EVERBANK.

This case originated as a dispossessory action in magistrate court. After an adverse judgment, Wendy Sampson sought review before the superior court. The superior court also ruled against Sampson. She then filed this direct appeal. We, however, 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 Sampson did not follow the proper procedure for requesting appellate review in this case, we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
