Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ September 03, 2015 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A15D0543. KATHRINE CLARK v. RICKY G. RAU.

Kathrine Clark filed this application for discretionary appeal from the trial court’s order concerning custody of her minor children. Under OCGA § 5-6-34 (a) (11), direct appeals are permitted from “[a]ll judgments or orders in child custody cases awarding, refusing to change, or modifying child custody or holding or declining to hold persons in contempt of such child custody judgment or orders.”

Thus, the order that Clark seeks to appeal is directly appealable.

We will grant a timely discretionary application if the lower court’s order is subject to direct appeal. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (j). Accordingly, this application is hereby GRANTED. Clark shall have ten days from the date of this order to file a notice of appeal with the trial court. If, however, she has already filed a notice of appeal, she need not file a second notice. The clerk of the trial court is DIRECTED to include a copy of this order in the record transmitted to the Court of Appeals.
