Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ April 17, 2025 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A25A1509. VICTORIA EGUASA v. FRANK OSUNDE.

Victoria Eguasa filed this direct appeal of the trial court’s final judgment and decree granting a divorce between Eguasa and Frank Osunde. We lack jurisdiction because 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); see Evans v. Jackson, 368 Ga. App. 170, 173 (1) (b) (889 SE2d 343) (2023).

“Compliance with the discretionary appeals procedure is jurisdictional.” Smoak v. Dept. of Human Resources, 221 Ga. App. 257, 257 (471 SE2d 60) (1996). Eguasa’s failure to file an application for discretionary appeal deprives us of jurisdiction over this direct appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
