Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ September 26, 2012 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A13D0039. WILBUR LAMAR BURSON v. LOVETTE C. LINDON.

Wilbur Burson, who is incarcerated, has filed a pro se application for discretionary appeal. He seeks review of a trial court order that was entered on July 17, 2012. Burson filed his application on August 30, 2012.

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). Here, Burson’s application was filed 44 days after entry of the order he seeks to appeal. We lack jurisdiction to consider an untimely application for discretionary appeal. See Hill, supra. Accordingly, this application is hereby DISMISSED.
