Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ December 22, 2014 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A15A0535. AUTOKAM AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC. v. CREDIT NATION AUTO SALES, LLC.

On August 22, 2014, this Court granted an application for discretionary appeal filed by Autokam Automotive Group, Inc. The order directed that the appellant file a notice of appeal within 10 days of the date of the order. See OCGA § 5-6-34 (b).

Thirteen days later, on September 4, 2014, Autokam Automotive Group filed its notice of appeal. After the case was docketed, appellee Credit Nation Auto Sales, LLC filed a motion to dismiss.

The timely filing of a notice of appeal is an absolute requirement to confer jurisdiction on this Court. White v. White, 188 Ga. App. 556 (373 SE2d 824) (1988).

Because Autokam Automotive Group failed to file a notice of appeal within 10 days of our order granting the discretionary application, the notice of appeal is untimely.

Accordingly, the motion to dismiss is hereby GRANTED, and this appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. See OCGA § 5-6-48 (b) (1); Barnes v. Justis, 223 Ga. App. 671, 671-672 (478 SE2d 402) (1996).
