SHENEE JOHNSON v. MICHAEL BEND.
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
On October 16, 2024, Shenee Johnson filed this application for discretionary review of the trial court's September 12, 2024, order denying her emergency motion and amended motion to set aside a family violence twelve month protective order. We lack jurisdiction because the application is untimely.
To be timely, an application for discretionary review must be filed within 30 days of entry of the order or judgment to be appealed. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (d). As this application was filed 34 days after entry of the order at issue, it is untimely and is hereby DISMISSED. See Crosson v. Conway, 291 Ga. 220, 220 (1) (728 S.E.2d 617) (2012); see also Boyle v. State, 190 Ga.App. 734, 734 (380 S.E.2d 57) (1989) ("The requirements of OCGA § 5-6-35 are jurisdictional and this [C]ourt cannot accept an appeal not made in compliance therewith.").
