Opinion
Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ October 28, 2016 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A17D0118. IN RE: MARINE HOUSTON.
On June 6, 2016, the trial court denied Helen Houston’s motion to reconsider and set aside the court’s final order in this adult guardianship proceeding. Helen Houston filed this application for discretionary review on October 4, 2016. We lack jurisdiction.
An application for discretionary review must be filed within 30 days of entry of the order or judgment to be appealed. 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. Boyle v. State, 190 Ga. App. 734 (380 SE2d 57) (1989). Helen Houston’s application is untimely, as it was filed 120 days after entry of the order she seeks to appeal. Accordingly, this application is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia 10/28/2016 Clerk’s Office, Atlanta,____________________ I certify that the above is a true extract from the minutes of the Court of Appeals of Georgia.
Witness my signature and the seal of said court hereto affixed the day and year last above written.
, Clerk.
