Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ November 01, 2012 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A13A0438. JAMES MCCONNELL, et al v. ANTOINETTE WRIGHT, et al.

James and Martha McConnell sued Antoinette Wright and others, seeking to recover for damages they sustained in a car accident. After a jury trial, the trial court entered a judgment in the McConnells’ favor in the amount of $4,600. They then filed this direct appeal.

We lack jurisdiction. 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- (a) (6). Because the McConnells failed to follow the required procedure, their appeal is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. See Hill v. Rose Electric Co., 220 Ga. App. 603 (469 SE2d 844) (1996).
