Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ October 17, 2013 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A14D0050. DAVID MASSEY v. JOHN W. HEMMINGS.

David Massey filed this application for discretionary appeal seeking review of the trial court’s order denying his petition for a stalking protective order against John Hemmings, and awarding attorney fees to Hemmings pursuant to OCGA § 16-5-94 (d) (3). The order appealed from constitutes a final order for which no application is required. See De Louis v. Sheppard, 277 Ga. App. 768 (627 SE2d 846) (2006).

Because the order is directly appealable, this application is ordered GRANTED pursuant to OCGA § 5-6-35 (j). David Massey shall have ten days from the date of this order to file a notice of appeal, if he has not already done so. If Massey has already filed a notice of appeal, he need not file a second notice. The clerk of the superior court is directed to include a copy of this order in the appeal record transmitted to this Court.
