Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ September 13, 2013 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A13A2459. BRODERICK A. WATERS v. CDL TRAINING SERVICES OF MISSOURI MTC 1.

Defendant Broderick A. Waters filed a notice of appeal seeking to directly appeal the order granting summary judgment to the plaintiff and entering judgment in the plaintiff’s favor. The judgment amount, however, totals $3,801.66, including the principal of $3,398.75, attorney’s fees in the amount of $402.91, and continuing interest and all court costs.

Although the grant of a motion for summary judgment usually is directly appealable, where the amount of the judgment is $10,000.00 or less, an application for discretionary appeal is required. OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (6) and (b); Ca-Shar v. McKesson Corp., 204 Ga. App. 865 (420 SE2d 810) (1992). Because Waters failed to follow the proper procedure here, his appeal is ordered DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. Hill v. Rose Electric Co., 220 Ga. App. 603 (469 SE2d 844) (1996).
