Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ July 30, 2014 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A14D0435. JOHN WAYNE MADDOX v. THE STATE.

John Wayne Maddox seeks appellate review of the trial court’s order denying his motion to vacate his conviction and sentence. The trial court entered its order on May 29, 2014. Maddox filed his application for discretionary appeal on July 2, 2014.

We lack jurisdiction because the application is untimely.

An application for discretionary appeal must be filed within 30 days of the entry of the order or judgment to be appealed. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (d). The requirements of OCGA § 5-6-35 are jurisdictional, and this Court cannot accept an application for appeal not made in compliance therewith. See Boyle v. State, 190 Ga. App. 734 (380 SE2d 57) (1989). Here, Maddox filed his application 34 days after entry of the order he seeks to appeal. Therefore, his application is untimely, and it is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
