Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,_____________________ May 15, 2020 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A20D0374. YVONNE WARD v. U. S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION et al.

Based on the limited materials before us, it appears that Yvonne Ward filed an action for wrongful foreclosure and other claims against nine defendants.1 In two separate orders entered the same day, the trial court dismissed Ward’s claims against all defendants. Ward then filed this timely application for discretionary appeal in the Supreme Court, which subsequently transferred the matter here. See Case No. S20D0945 (transferred Mar. 16, 2020).

Under OCGA § 5-6-34 (a) (1), a party may file a direct appeal from “[a]ll final judgments, that is to say, where the case is no longer pending in the court below, except as provided in Code Section 5-6-35[.]” It does not appear that any provision of OCGA § 5-6-35, the discretionary appeal statute, applies here. Thus, the trial court’s orders collectively dismissing all of Ward’s claims constituted directly appealable final judgments.

We will grant a timely application for discretionary appeal if the lower court’s order is subject to direct appeal. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (j). Accordingly, this application is hereby GRANTED. Ward shall have ten days from the date of this

Ward has not included a copy of her complaint with the application materials.

We note that one of the defendants in this case, U. S. Bank National Association, previously foreclosed upon Ward’s property and obtained a writ of possession against her. Ward sought, unsuccessfully, to challenge the dispossessory proceedings in this Court. See Case No. A19D0009 (denied Aug. 16, 2018); Case No. A19A1555 (dismissed Mar. 28, 2019); Case No. A20D0351 (dismissed Apr. 22, 2020). order to file a notice of appeal with the trial court. If she has already filed a notice of appeal in the trial court, she need not file a second notice. The clerk of the trial court is DIRECTED to include a copy of this order in the record transmitted to the Court of Appeals.
