Opinion

73099.

DECIDED OCTOBER 9, 1986.

Garnishment. Fulton State Court. Before Judge Thompson.

Marva Jones Brooks, Henry M. Murff, for appellant.

D. Merrill Adams, M. Alvin Levy, for appellee.

DEEN, Presiding Judge.

We granted this discretionary appeal from a judgment in a garnishment action, growing out of an automobile collision involving appellee Brown and an on-duty employee of appellant City of Atlanta, in order to bring before this court all relevant facts in the case. Appellee has moved to dismiss the appeal on the ground that it was not filed within 30 days of the judgment appealed.

After careful review of the record, we find that the appeal was untimely filed and therefore must be dismissed. OCGA § 5-6-38 (a); Guthrie v. D. L. Claborn Buick/Opel, 180 Ga. App. 128 ( 348 S.E.2d 523) (1986); Carpets `n' Colors v. Hollycraft Carpets, 177 Ga. App. 534 ( 339 S.E.2d 793) (1986).

Appeal dismissed. Benham and Beasley, JJ., concur.
