Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ March 28, 2017 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A17D0352. OCIE O. FOWLER v. DANIEL R. WEST.

On February 14, 2017, the trial court entered an order denying various motions filed by Ocie Fowler, including a motion to dismiss or set aside an order reinstating a case filed against Fowler by Daniel West. Fowler filed both an application for interlocutory appeal and an application for discretionary appeal from the court’s order, raising the same arguments. Because the case remains pending below, the order Fowler seeks to appeal is not a final order and Fowler was required to comply with the interlocutory appeal procedures of OCGA § 5-6-34 (b), which he did in Case No. A17I0169. Accordingly, this discretionary application is hereby DISMISSED as duplicative.
