Jonah Addis v. Catamount Properties 2018, LLC

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ January 07, 2025 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A25D0192. JONAH ADDIS v. CATAMOUNT PROPERTIES 2018, LLC.

In this dispossessory proceeding, the magistrate court issued a writ of possession against Jonah Addis in August 2023. Addis appealed to superior court, and that court entered a dismissal without prejudice for failure to prosecute on February 29, 2024. Addis filed the instant application on December 18, 2024. We lack jurisdiction.

Appeals from judgments in dispossessory actions must be filed within seven days of the date the judgment was entered. See OCGA § 44-7-56; Radio Sandy Springs, Inc. v. Allen Road Joint Venture, 311 Ga. App. 334, 335-336 (715 SE2d 752) (2011). The deadlines for filing applications for discretionary review are jurisdictional, and this Court cannot accept an application not made in compliance with the applicable deadline. See Boyle v. State, 190 Ga. App. 734, 734 (380 SE2d 57) (1989).

Addis’s application for discretionary review is untimely because it was filed 293 days after the order was entered. See OCGA § 44-7-56; Radio Sandy Springs, Inc., 311 Ga. App. at 335-336. Accordingly, the application for discretionary review is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. See Boyle, 190 Ga. App. at 734.
