Opinion
69562.
DECIDED MARCH 7, 1985.
Appeal dismissal. Richmond Civil Court. Before Judge Mixon.
Victor Hawk, for appellant.
J. Milton Martin, Jr., for appellee.
The notice of appeal in the instant case states that appellant brings this direct appeal from an order "entered in the Clerk's Office on the 16th day of July, 1984, which Order denied [appellant's] motion to set aside default judgment." OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (8) provides that appeals from orders denying a motion to set aside a judgment are discretionary. That statute became effective July 1, 1984. Accordingly, the instant appeal must be dismissed because "there was no attempt made to comply with the provisions of OCGA § 5-6-35." Voight v. Orr, 173 Ga. App. 248 ( 326 S.E.2d 480) (1985).
Appeal dismissed. Birdsong, P. J., and Beasley, J., concur.
