A21A1077. ROGER L. HICKS v. PISSARRO WRIGHT, et al.

Appeals from orders granting or denying attorney fees and litigation expenses under OCGA § 9-15-14 must be made by discretionary application,1 not direct appeal. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (10). Accordingly, Appellees’ motion to dismiss is hereby GRANTED, and this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
