Lorna M. Nembhard v. Townhomes at Wedgewood Homeowners Association, Inc. ( 2017 )

Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,____________________
November 28, 2017
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A18A0804. LORNA M. NEMBHARD v. TOWNHOMES AT WEDGEWOOD
HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC.
The trial court entered a final judgment against Lorna M. Nembhard and
awarded damages to Townhomes at Wedgewood Homeowners Association, Inc. in the
amount of $8,582.06. Nembhard 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). Nembhard’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.
