Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ May 09, 2013 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A13A1703. SIM JAMES POPE, JR. v. THE STATE.

Sim James Pope, Jr., filed this direct appeal from the superior court’s order denying his motion for release from sex offender registry requirements. See OCGA § 42-1-19. In order to appeal this order, however, Pope was required to file an application for discretionary appeal. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (5.2). Pope’s failure to follow the discretionary appeal procedure deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
