Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ July 24, 2014 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A14A2078. EDDIE CORREIA et al. v. HUGH M. DEJARNETTE, JR. et al.

Eddie Correia and the other defendants below filed a motion for attorney fees pursuant to OCGA § 9-15-14. The trial court denied the motion, and the defendants filed this direct appeal. But appeals from orders granting or denying attorney fees and litigation expenses under OCGA § 9-15-14 must be made by discretionary application, not direct appeal. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (10). The defendants’ failure to comply with the discretionary review procedure deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal. See Capricorn Systems v. Godavarthy, 253 Ga. App. 840 (560 SE2d 730) (2002). Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
