Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ December 03, 2025 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A26A0619. ANDREA DAVIS-BROWN v. LAWRENCE BROWN, JR. Andrea Davis-Brown filed this pro se direct appeal from the trial court’s order holding her in contempt for failure to comply with a prior court order incorporating the parties’ settlement agreement, as it relates to the sale of the marital home. We lack jurisdiction.

Appeals from judgments or orders in domestic relations cases, including orders “holding or declining to hold persons in contempt,” must be made by application for discretionary appeal. See OCGA § 5-6-35(a)(2), (b). See also Russo v. Manning, 252 Ga. 155, 156 (312 SE2d 319) (1984) (“A judgment of contempt regarding a domestic relations decree is appealable only by application for discretionary appeal.”).

“Compliance with the discretionary appeals procedure is jurisdictional.” Hair Restoration Specialists v. State of Ga., 360 Ga. App. 901, 903 (862 SE2d 564) (2021).

Accordingly, Davis-Brown’s failure to follow the requisite discretionary appeal procedure deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
