HERALD ALEXANDER v. MARY A. WHITE.
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
In this breach of contract action, the trial court denied Herald Alexander's motion for partial summary judgment. Alexander filed a notice of appeal from the trial court's order. We lack jurisdiction.
The denial of a motion for summary judgment must be appealed in accordance with the interlocutory appeal procedures set forth in OCGA § 5-6-34 (b), including obtaining a certificate of immediate review from the trial court. See Georgia Central Credit Union v. Cole, 239 Ga. 870, 870-871 (239 S.E.2d 37) (1977); Sharpes Appliance Store, Inc. v. Anderson, 161 Ga.App. 112 (289 S.E.2d 312) (1982); see also Lumbermen's Underwriting Alliance v. Atlantic Wood Indus., Inc., 207 Ga.App. 392, 392 (427 S.E.2d 861) (1993). Alexander's failure to follow the required appellate procedure deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED. See Pace Constr. Corp. v. Northpark Assocs., 215 Ga.App. 438, 439 (450 S.E.2d 828) (1994).
