TIFFANY JONES v. BAHAY PROPERTY, LLC et al.
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
This case originated as a dispossessory action in magistrate court. In January 2020, the magistrate court issued a writ of possession to Bahay Property, LLC and Joel Concepcion, and Tiffany Jones appealed to the superior court. On October 7, 2021, the superior court granted a writ of possession. Jones filed this direct appeal, seeking review of the October 7 order, the subsequent denial of her motion for reconsideration, and the execution of the writ. We lack jurisdiction.
Because the superior court's order disposed of a de novo appeal from a magistrate court decision, Jones was required to follow the discretionary appeal procedure. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1); English v. Delbridge, 216 Ga.App. 366, 367 (454 S.E.2d 175) (1995). Jones's failure to follow this procedure deprives us of jurisdiction to consider this direct appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
