We granted an application by the appellant for permission to bring an interlocutory appeal from an order granting summary judgment to the appellee in this personal injury action. Because a grant of summary judgment is subject to direct appeal (see OCGA § 9-11-56 (h)), and because the interlocutory appeal procedure is applicable only to those orders, decisions, and judgments which are “not otherwise subject to direct appeal” (OCGA § 5-6-34 (b)), we conclude that the application was improvidently granted; and the appeal is accordingly dismissed.

Appeal dismissed.
