GREGORY ANDREW HOBBS, SR. v. CITY OF THOMASVILLE.
Gregory Andrew Hobbs, Sr. filed suit against the City of Thomasville seeking to collect more than $40,000 in unpaid per diem. Ultimately, the trial court entered final judgment in favor of Hobbs in the amount of $5,236, and Hobbs filed this direct appeal. We lack jurisdiction.
Appeals in actions for damages in which the judgment is $10,000.00 or less must be by application for discretionary appeal. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (6); Jennings v. Moss, 235 Ga.App. 357, 357 (509 S.E.2d 655) (1998). Because Hobbs did not follow the proper procedure for obtaining appellate review in this case, we lack jurisdiction, and this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
