Discretionary appeal required for orders disposing of de novo appeals from magistrate court

Section 5-6-35 requires an appeal from a superior-court order disposing of a de novo appeal from a magistrate-court decision to be initiated by an application for discretionary appeal, and compliance with that procedure is jurisdictional.

WILSON v. SUNNYLAND COMMUNITY, LLC · filed 2022-02-23(a)(11), (b)

As we explained when dismissing Wilson’s 2019 appeal, an appeal from a superior court order disposing of a de novo appeal from a magistrate court decision must be initiated by filing an application for discretionary appeal. OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (11), (b); Bullock v. Sand, 260 Ga. App. 874, 875 (581 SE2d 333) (2003).

Discretionary appeal: filing requirements, deadline, and jurisdiction

Section 5-6-35 requires the order supporting a discretionary-appeal application to be stamped “filed,” imposes a 30-day filing deadline, and makes compliance with those requirements jurisdictional.

Nasa v. Corizon Health, Inc. · filed 2013-06-04(c), (d)

The order he included with his application, however, is not stamped “filed” as required by OCGA § 5-6-35 (c) and Court of Appeals Rule 31 (e). We, therefore, are unable to determine whether Susa Nasa timely filed his application for discretionary review. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (d) (an application for discretionary appeal must be filed within 30 days of the entry of the order or judgment to be appealed). ... Given the dearth of information he provided with his application, we are unable to assume jurisdiction. See Boyle v. State, 190 Ga. App. 734 (380 SE2d 57) (1989) (the requirements of OCGA § 5-6-35 are jurisdictional, and this Court cannot accept an appeal not made in compliance therewith). Accordingly, this application is hereby DISMISSED.

Carbon v. Sfr Investment v. Borrower 1, LLC · filed 2024-12-13(a)(1), (b), (d)

Appeals from superior court decisions reviewing lower court decisions by petition for review must be initiated by filing an application for discretionary review. OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1), (b); Bullock v. Sand, 260 Ga. App. 874, 875 (581 SE2d 333) (2003). “Compliance with the discretionary appeals procedure is jurisdictional.” Smoak v. Dept. of Human Resources, 221 Ga. App. 257, 257 (471 SE2d 60) (1996). ... Although Carbon titled his filing as a “Notice of Discretionary Appeal,” we construe the filing as a notice of appeal — and not an application for discretionary review — because he filed it in the trial court, rather than this Court. A notice of appeal is filed in the trial court to initiate a direct appeal to an appellate court, while an application for discretionary review must be filed in the appropriate appellate court to request permission to appeal. Compare OCGA § 5-6-35 (d) (an application for discretionary review must be filed in the appropriate appellate court), with OCGA § 5-6-37 (a notice of appeal must be filed “with the clerk of the court wherein the case was determined”).

Scott and Sons Holdings, LLC v. Res-Ga Two, LLC · filed 2014-10-17(a), (d)

To be timely, a discretionary application must be filed within 30 days of entry of the order to be appealed. OCGA § 5-6-35 (d); Hill v. State, 204 Ga. App. 582 (420 SE2d 393) (1992). Scott and Sons Holdings argues that because it mailed its application, it is entitled to an additional filing time of three days pursuant to OCGA § 9-11-6 (e). However, the filing date of an application for discretionary appeal is not calculated from the date of service of any type of notice upon the applicant; it is calculated from the date of entry of the order sought to be appealed. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a). Thus, OCGA § 9-11-6 (e), which applies only in cases where the prescribed filing time commences to run after the service of some type of notice or document upon the party seeking to appeal, does not apply to extend the time requirement for filing an application for discretionary appeal under OCGA § 5-6-35. See Akin v. Sanders, 228 Ga. 251 (184 SE2d 660) (1971) (no additional three days in which to file notice of appeal).

When discretionary appeal requirements do not apply to directly appealable orders

Davis v. Progressive Corporation · filed 2015-10-22(a), (d), and (j)

An order denying filing under OCGA § 9-15-2 (d) is not in and of itself subject to the discretionary appeal procedure requirements of OCGA § 5-6-35. See In re Lawsuits of Carter, 235 Ga. App. 551 (510 SE2d 91) (1988). Moreover, no provision of subsection (a) of OCGA § 5-6-35 appears to be applicable to this case. The order, therefore, was directly appealable. ... Ordinarily, when a party applies for discretionary review of a directly appealable order, we grant the application under OCGA § 5-6-35 (j). To fall within this general rule, however, the application must be filed within 30 days of entry of the order or judgment to be appealed. OCGA § 5-6-35 (d); Hill v State, 204 Ga.

Benjamin v. Compton · filed 2013-06-14(a)(8), (j)

This is an appeal from a final judgment. See Lanier v. Foster, 133 Ga. App. 149, 153 (3) (210 SE2d 326) (1974). It is not an appeal from the denial of a motion to set aside, as contemplated by OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (8), nor does it fall within any other provision of OCGA § 5-6-35 (a). The order in this case is thus directly appealable and is not subject to the discretionary appeal requirements. This Court will grant an otherwise timely discretionary application pursuant to OCGA § 5-6-35 (j), if the order is subject to direct appeal. Therefore, this application is GRANTED as required under OCGA § 5-6-35 (j).

Discretionary review — enumeration of errors

Section 5-6-35(a)(4) requires a discretionary appeal application for appeals involving garnishment or attachment unless the appeal concerns an application for attachment against a fraudulent debtor covered by § 5-6-34(a)(5).

Holiday Hospitality Franchising, Inc. v. Noons · filed 2013-07-09(a)(4)

Under OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (4), a discretionary application is required in “[a]ppeals from cases involving garnishment or attachment, except as provided in paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of Code Section 5-6-34.” OCGA § 5-6-34 (a) (5), in turn, provides a right of direct appeal from “[a]ll judgments or orders granting or refusing applications for attachment against fraudulent debtors.” The question, then, is whether this was an application for attachment against a fraudulent debtor. We considered this issue when questioning whether Noons’ application for discretionary appeal was directly appealable, and we found that based on the record, this appears to be an ordinary garnishment action with no application for attachment. Accordingly, no direct appeal is authorized, and Holiday Hospitality Franchising properly filed an application for discretionary appeal.
