Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia May 30, 2012 ATLANTA,_________________ The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A12A1862. LESLIE CLARKE v. GREEN TREE HOUSE GROUP INC. This case originated as a dispossessory proceeding in magistrate court.

Following an adverse ruling, Leslie Clarke appealed the magistrate court’s decision to the superior court. The superior court subsequently entered judgment against Clarke, who filed a notice of direct appeal to this Court.

We lack jurisdiction. Because the order at issue disposes of a de novo appeal from a magistrate court decision, Clarke was required to follow the discretionary appeal procedures. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1); English v. Delbridge, 216 Ga. App. 366, 367 (454 SE2d 175) (1995). Her failure to do so deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
