Discretionary appeal from denial of extraordinary motion for new trial

Section 5-6-35(a)(7) requires an appeal from the denial or dismissal of an extraordinary motion for new trial to follow the discretionary appeal procedure.

Boswell v. J. A. Keller, Warden · filed 2012-10-31(a)(7)

This type of writ “is the ancestor of the current extraordinary motion for new trial.” Crews v. State, 175 Ga. App. 300 (333 SE2d 176) (1985). In substance, therefore, the petition is an extraordinary motion for new trial. And under OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (7), appeals from the denial or dismissal of an extraordinary motion for new trial must comply with the discretionary appeal procedure. Boswell’s failure to comply with the necessary procedure deprives us of jurisdiction over his appeals, which are hereby DISMISSED.

Discretionary appeal procedure for attorney-fee awards

An appeal from an attorney-fee award under OCGA § 9-15-14 must use the discretionary appeal procedure, unless it is part of an otherwise directly appealable judgment.

Roberts v. Pearce · filed 1998-04-13(a)(10)

Applying this case law to the instant case, we find that because an award of attorney fees under OCGA § 9-15-14 is subject to the discretionary appeal procedures of OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (10), the appeal cannot stand on its own merit. Therefore, once the main appeal was dismissed, we no longer had independent jurisdiction of this appeal.

Although Williams filed an application for discretionary appeal, as described in OCGA § 5-6-35, compliance with that procedure does not excuse a party seeking appellate review of an interlocutory order from complying with the additional requirements of OCGA § 5-6-34 (b).

Section 5-6-35 (a) (10) requires an appeal from an attorney-fee award under OCGA § 9-15-14 to begin with an application for discretionary appeal, but interlocutory procedures control when the underlying action remains pending.

Otis N. White, Jr. v. Highwood Park Condominium Association · filed 2020-12-23(a)(10)

Although an appeal from an OCGA § 9-15-14 attorney fee award must be initiated by filing an application for discretionary appeal pursuant to OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (10), this action remains pending before the trial court and the order White seeks to appeal is a non-final order that did not resolve all issues in this action. As a result, White was required to follow the interlocutory appeal procedures set forth in OCGA § 5-6-34 (b) to challenge the order.
