Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ March 06, 2014 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A14A1068. PAMELA CECILE WILLIAMS v. THE STATE.

Pamela Cecile Williams was charged with violating OCGA § 40-6-16, the “Move Over Law.” She pled nolo contendre, and the disposition was entered on April 25, 2013. On December 6, 2013, she filed a notice of appeal. We, however, lack jurisdiction.

A notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days after entry of the order on appeal. OCGA § 5-6-38 (a). The proper and timely filing of a notice of appeal is an absolute requirement to confer jurisdiction on this Court. See Couch v. United Paperworkers Intl. Union, 224 Ga. App. 721 (482 SE2d 704) (1997). Williams filed her notice of appeal 225 days after entry of the order she seeks to challenge. Her appeal is therefore untimely, and it is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
