Glenda Marcus v. Sylvester Marcus, Sr.

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ May 22, 2019 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A19A1958. GLENDA MARCUS v. SYLVESTER MARCUS, SR. After the parties were divorced pursuant to an amended final judgment, the wife, Glenda Marcus, filed this direct appeal. We, however, lack jurisdiction.

Appeals from “judgments or orders in divorce, alimony, and other domestic relations cases” must be made by application for discretionary appeal. OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (2). “[C]ompliance with the discretionary appeals procedure is jurisdictional.” Fabe v. Floyd, 199 Ga. App. 322, 332 (1) (405 SE2d 265) (1991). The wife’s failure to follow the discretionary appeal procedure deprives us of jurisdiction over this direct appeal. Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia Clerk’s Office, Atlanta,____________________ 05/22/2019 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.
