Seaborn Enterprise 2, LLC v. United Gaming L.L.C. · filed 2024-01-23(a)(1)

But the statute creating the GLC expressly provides that it is “not a state agency.” OCGA § 50-27-4. A superior court order reviewing a GLC decision therefore “does not fall within the ambit of OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1),” and an application for discretionary review thus is not required here.

Application to appeal orders denying extraordinary motions for new trial

Section 5-6-35 requires an application to appeal an order denying an extraordinary motion for new trial when that motion is separate from the original appeal.

AMERICAN DRUGGISTS INSURANCE COMPANY v. Harris · filed 1984-11-16

On July 1 this year, OCGA § 5-6-35 was amended to require applications to appeal orders denying extraordinary motions for new trial when separate from an original appeal. ... The extraordinary motion for new trial, having been filed after the overruling of the original motion for new trial, is separate from the original motion for new trial and therefore is separate from the original appeal. ... There being no application to appeal the order overruling the extraordinary motion for new trial, the appeal is dismissed.

OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (7), which became effective July 1, 1984, provides that an application for appeal is required for “[a]ppeals, when separate from an original appeal, from the denial of an extraordinary motion for new trial; . . .” Where applicable, requirements of OCGA § 5-6-35 are jurisdictional and the appellate court has no authority to accept an appeal in the absence of compliance with these statutory provisions.

Gibbs v. State · filed 1994-05-02(a)(7)

OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (7) requires such an independent appeal to proceed by application. Since a direct appeal was permitted but not properly taken, the appeal must be dismissed.

Section 5-6-35(d) permits a motion for new trial to be filed before the discretionary appeal application, which must then be filed within 30 days after final disposition of the motion; the statute does not itself bar such a motion.

Wells v. State · filed 1999-02-22(d)

OCGA § 5-6-35 itself contemplates that a motion for new trial may be filed before discretionary application is made: “When a motion for new trial. . . has been filed, the application shall be filed within 30 days after the entry of the order granting, overruling, or otherwise finally disposing of the motion.” OCGA § 5-6-35 (d). OCGA § 5-6-35 in and of itself, therefore, does not foreclose the filing of a motion for new trial.

The present appeal is one involving attachment, but it is not an appeal from an order which granted or refused appellant’s application for a writ of attachment against Smith’s property. Rather it involves the grant of a third-party claimant’s traverse to the writ of attachment which had been previously granted to appellant.

Section 5-6-35(a)(1) requires an application for an appeal when a party seeks appellate review of a trial-court ruling reviewing a state-agency decision through mandamus or the Declaratory Judgment Act, but it does not govern an independent declaratory claim appealed directly.

Zitrin v. Georgia Composite State Board of Medical Examiners · filed 2007-10-18(a)(1)

Accordingly, this appeal is not subject to the application process mandated for discretionary appeals, and the Board’s motion to dismiss the same is denied. ... The cases cited by the State in support of its motion to dismiss hold that if a party, instead of directly appealing the decision of a state agency, attempts to use mandamus or the Declaratory Judgment Act as a means of seeking a review of the agency decision, then an appeal from the trial court’s grant or denial of the requested relief falls within the ambit of OCGA § 5-6-35. ...
