Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ January 14, 2025 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A25E0062. HALTON PETERS v. CANDACE McCOWAN PETERS.

On December 20, 2024, the Superior Court of Fulton County entered an “Final Judgment and Decree of Divorce” in the parties’ divorce proceeding. On January 13, 2025, counsel for the appellant filed an emergency motion, under Court of Appeals Rule 40 (b), seeking an extension of time until March 24, 2025 in which to file an application for a discretionary appeal of the Superior Court’s order. Court of Appeals Rule 16 (c), however, directs that an extension of time to file a discretionary application “will not exceed the time otherwise allowed for the filing of an application.” See also OCGA § 5-6-39 (c). Thus, although the appellant’s motion is hereby GRANTED, counsel for the appellant has only until February 20, 2025, to file an application for a discretionary appeal.
