Kerry Overton v. David Jackson
Kerry Overton v. David Jackson
Opinion
Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ July 18, 2013 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A13D0445. KERRY OVERTON et al. v. DAVID JACKSON.
On June 22, 2013, Kerry Overton and Sheilah Lederer filed this discretionary application seeking to appeal a trial court order entered on May 22, 2013. An application for discretionary appeal must be filed within 30 days of entry of the order to be appealed. OCGA § 5-6-35 (d). “The requirements of OCGA § 5-6-35 are jurisdictional and this court cannot accept an appeal not made in compliance therewith.” Boyle v. State of Ga., 190 Ga. App. 734 (380 SE2d 57) (1989); see also Gable v. State, 290 Ga. 81, 82-83 (2) (a) (720 SE2d 170) (2011). Because this application was filed 31 days after entry of the trial court’s order, it is untimely, and it is therefore DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. Attorney Thomas Drake’s “Petition for Courtesy Appearance” is DISMISSED as MOOT.
