TIMOTHY WALTER BOYD v. DDCB, INC. et al.
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
In this civil action, plaintiffs DDCB, Inc. and Benjamin Cowart obtained a default judgment against defendants Timothy Walter Boyd and Boyd Law Group, and the trial court awarded the plaintiffs $203,400 in damages. Boyd, in his individual capacity, moved to vacate and set aside the judgment under OCGA § 9-11-60 (d) (1). The trial court denied the motion, and Boyd filed this appeal. We, however, lack jurisdiction.
An appeal from an order denying a motion to set aside a judgment under OCGA § 9-11-60 (d) must be made by application for discretionary review. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (8); Jim Ellis Atlanta, Inc. v. Adamson, 283 Ga.App. 116, 116 (640 S.E.2d 688) (2006). Boyd's failure to file a discretionary application thus deprives this Court of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
