Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,____________________
December 02, 2015
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A16D0127. LEWIS ALAN CARLTON v. THE STATE.
On October 1, 2015, the trial court entered an order revoking Lewis Alan
Carlton’s probation. On November 5, 2015, Carlton filed an application for
discretionary appeal in this Court. We, however, lack jurisdiction.
An application for discretionary appeal must be filed within 30 days of entry
of the order to be appealed. OCGA § 5-6-35 (d). “The requirements of OCGA § 5-6-
35 are jurisdictional and this court cannot accept an appeal not made in compliance
therewith.” Boyle v. State, 190 Ga. App. 734 (380 SE2d 57) (1989); see also Gable
v. State, 290 Ga. 81, 82-83 (2) (a) (720 SE2d 170) (2011). Because Carlton’s
application was filed 35 days after entry of the order he seeks to appeal, it is untimely,
and it is accordingly DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
