Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,_________________ May 23, 2012 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A12A1863. MICHAEL MINOR v. AMERICAN EXPRESS BANK, FSB.

American Express Bank, FSB sued Michael Minor on account. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of American Express, awarding a judgment of $2,912.92, plus $261.00 in costs. Minor then appealed directly to this Court.

However, the discretionary appeal procedure is required where a money judgment in an action for damages totals $10,000.00 or less. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (6). Because Minor failed to follow the required procedure, his appeal is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. See Hill v. Rose Electric Co., 220 Ga. App. 603 (469 SE2d 844) (1996).
