Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,_________________ July 26, 2012 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A12D0439. JOHNNY BRETT GREGORY v. THE STATE.

Johnny Brett Gregory seeks discretionary review of the trial court’s order of February 6, 2012, dismissing the state’s forfeiture action against him and directing the return of certain of his property. In his application, Gregory contends that the trial court neglected to include all of the items that the state seized. We lack jurisdiction.

To be timely, a discretionary application must be filed within 30 days of entry of the order to be appealed. OCGA § 5-6-35 (d); Hill v. State, 204 Ga. App. 582 (420 SE2d 393) (1992). Because this application was filed 72 days after entry of the order Gregory seeks to appeal,1 it is untimely and we lack jurisdiction to consider it. See Hill, supra. Accordingly, this application is hereby DISMISSED.

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia 07/26/2012 Clerk’s Office, Atlanta,_________________ I certify that the above is a true extract from the minutes of the Court of Appeals of Georgia.

Witness my signature and the seal of said court hereto affixed the day and year last above written.
