Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ May 09, 2016 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A16A1317. MELITA GARCIA v. CAH 2014-1 BORROWER LLC.

This case began as a dispossessory proceeding in magistrate court. Following an adverse ruling, defendant Melita Garcia appealed to the state court, which entered a writ of possession in favor of the plaintiff. Garcia now seeks this court’s review of the state court’s decision. We lack jurisdiction.

Because the order at issue disposes of a de novo appeal from a magistrate court decision, Garcia was required to follow the discretionary appeal procedures to obtain further appellate review. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (11); Strachan v. Meritor Mtg.

Corp. East, 216 Ga. App. 82 (453 SE2d 119) (1995). Her failure to do so deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
