188 S.E.2d 400 (Ga. Ct. App. 1972)

Opinion

46910.

SUBMITTED FEBRUARY 7, 1972.

DECIDED FEBRUARY 22, 1972.

Appellate procedure. Dougherty Superior Court. Before Judge Kelley.

Burt, Burt Rentz, Van Cheney, for appellant.

Divine, Busbee Wilkin, for appellee.


This appeal is from the grant of a summary judgment. The enumeration of errors was not filed within 20 days from the docketing of the case as required by court rule. Although compelling extenuating circumstances have been submitted through affidavits of the associate attorney and secretary of the law firm representing appellant, no providential cause for the one-day late filing has been shown. This being a jurisdictional requirement which has not been met, this appeal must be dismissed. Crozier v. Crozier, 228 Ga. 372 ( 185 S.E.2d 411); Baker v. State, 226 Ga. 45 ( 172 S.E.2d 409); Babb v. Cook, 124 Ga. App. 823 ( 186 S.E.2d 317); Jackson v. State, 124 Ga. App. 544 ( 184 S.E.2d 519); Court of Appeals Rule 14(a) ( 122 Ga. App. 891).

Appeal dismissed. Jordan, P. J., and Deen, J., concur.

SUBMITTED FEBRUARY 7, 1972 — DECIDED FEBRUARY 22, 1972.
