Collin Dewar v. Cach, LLC N.A

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ March 07, 2019 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A19A1303. COLLIN DEWAR v. CACH, LLC N.A. Cach, LLC filed a debt collection action against Collin Dewar. The trial court entered judgment in favor of Cach, LLC for $3,773.85 in damages and $245.00 in court costs. Dewar then filed this direct appeal. We, however, lack jurisdiction. Where a money judgment in an action for damages totals $10,000.00 or less, a party must follow the discretionary appeal procedures to obtain appellate review. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (6). Dewar’s failure to follow the required procedure deprives us of jurisdiction to consider this appeal. See Jennings v. Moss, 235 Ga. App. 357, 357 (509 SE2d 655) (1998). Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.

Witness my signature and the seal of said court hereto affixed the day and year last above written. , Clerk.
