Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia November 20, 2012 ATLANTA,__________________ The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A13A0502. SHAMARIT LATEE CARTER v. THE STATE.

Shamarit Carter was convicted of aggravated assault and other crimes, and we affirmed his convictions on appeal in an unpublished opinion. See Carter v. State, Case No. A12A0069, decided April 11, 2012. Carter later filed an extraordinary motion for new trial, which the trial court denied. Carter then filed this direct appeal.

However, orders denying extraordinary motions for new trial must be appealed by application for discretionary appeal. OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (7); Balkcom v. State, 227 Ga. App. 327, 329 (489 SE2d 129) (1997). Carter’s failure to comply with the discretionary appeal requirements deprives this Court of jurisdiction to consider this direct appeal, which is therefore DISMISSED.
