Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,_________________ June 21, 2012 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A12I0265. BARROW COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS v. MICHAEL GOODYEAR, et al.

Barrow County Board of Commissioners (“the Board”) seeks interlocutory review of the trial court’s order denying a motion to dismiss. The trial court entered the order on April 24, 2012, and granted a certificate of immediate review on May 4, 2012. The application for interlocutory appeal, however, was not filed until twenty days later on May 24, 2012.

Pursuant to OCGA § 5-6-34 (b), an application for interlocutory appeal must be filed within ten days after the granting of a certificate of immediate review. The Board’s failure to comply with the requisite interlocutory procedure deprives us of jurisdiction. See Rhymes v. East Atlanta Church Of God, Inc., 284 Ga. 145, 148 (663 SE2d 670) (2008). Accordingly, this application for interlocutory appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
