Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided November 21, 2014

Saccoccia & Tallman, LLC v. Norfolk Southern Corporation

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ November 21, 2014 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A15A0556. SACCOCCIA & TALLMAN, LLC v. NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORPORATION et al.

Law firm Saccoccia & Tallman, LLC (“the Appellant”) filed a motion to foreclose an attorney fee lien. The trial court entered a final order on July 18, 2013, denying the motion. The Appellant filed a motion for reconsideration, which the trial court denied on May 1, 2014. The Appellants filed this appeal on May 30, 2014.

The denial of a motion for reconsideration is not directly appealable, and the filing of such a motion does not extend the time for filing an appeal. See Bell v. Cohran, 244 Ga. App. 510, 511 (536 SE2d 187) (2000); Savage v. Newsome, 173 Ga. App. 271 (326 SE2d 5) (1985). Thus, the Appellant’s failure to file a notice of appeal within 30 days of the trial court’s July 18, 2013 order renders this appeal untimely, and it is hereby DISMISSED.

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia 11/21/2014 Clerk’s Office, Atlanta,____________________ I certify that the above is a true extract from the minutes of the Court of Appeals of Georgia.

Witness my signature and the seal of said court hereto affixed the day and year last above written.

, Clerk.
