YOLANDA LODEN v. U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION.
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
On January 29, 2024, Yolanda Loden filed a pro se notice of appeal from a trial court order that was entered on December 18, 2023. We lack jurisdiction because the appeal is untimely.
A notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days after entry of the order on appeal. OCGA § 5-6-38 (a). The proper and timely filing of a notice of appeal is an absolute requirement to confer jurisdiction on this Court. Perlman v. Perlman, 318 Ga.App. 731, 739 (4) (734 S.E.2d 560) (2012). Here, Loden's notice of appeal was filed 42 days after entry of the trial court's order. Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
