Nicole Rodney v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ May 14, 2018 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A18A1661. NICOLE RODNEY v. WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A.

Nicole Rodney filed this direct appeal from the trial court’s order granting summary judgment to Wells Fargo Bank and awarding the bank $5,918.09 in principal, $250.22 in court costs, and attorney fees of $616.80. We, however, lack jurisdiction.

“Although the grant of a motion for summary judgment is in general directly appealable, where the amount of the judgment is $10,000 or less, an application for discretionary appeal is required.” Ca-Shar, Inc. v. McKesson Corp., 204 Ga. App. 865, 865 (420 SE2d 810) (1992) (punctuation omitted); see also OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (6). As the total judgment in favor of the bank is for less than $10,000, the entry of summary judgment provides no basis for a direct appeal in this case. See Ca-Shar, 204 Ga. App. at 865-866. Because Rodney failed to follow the required procedure, we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED. See Jennings v. Moss, 235 Ga. App. 357 (509 SE2d 655) (1998).
