Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ August 12, 2015 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A15A2263. REBECCA BOONE v. THE STATE.

Rebecca Boone pled guilty to armed robbery in 2006. She later moved to withdraw her guilty plea out-of-time and for an out-of-time appeal. The trial court denied both motions by order entered November 10, 2011. Boone filed a notice of appeal on July 13, 2015. We lack jurisdiction.

To be timely, a notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days of entry of the order from which an appeal is sought. OCGA § 5-6-38 (a). The proper and timely filing of a notice of appeal is an absolute requirement to confer jurisdiction on this Court. Rowland v. State, 264 Ga. 872, 872 (1) (452 SE2d 756) (1995). Because Boone filed her notice of appeal more than three years after entry of the order she seeks to appeal, it is untimely. Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
