Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ March 19, 2015 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A15D0283. EUGENE JEROME HOWARD v. THE STATE.

Eugene Jerome Howard seeks appellate review of the trial court’s order denying his extraordinary motion for new trial. The trial court’s order was entered on November 11, 2014, and Howard filed his application on January 7, 2015.1 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, Howard filed his application 57 days after entry of the order he seeks to appeal. Therefore, his application is untimely, and it is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
