Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ July 11, 2018 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A18A1824. JENNIFER L. BRYANT v. ATLANTIC 17TH RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC. Jennifer L. Bryant appeals the trial court’s order granting summary judgment to Atlantic 17th Residential Condominium Association, Inc. in the total amount of $5,367.91, including interest, court costs, litigation expenses, and attorney fees. Atlantic moved to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. “Although the grant of a motion for summary judgment is in general directly appealable, where the amount of the judgment is $10,000.00 or less, an application for discretionary appeal is required.” Ca-Shar v. McKesson Corp.,
204 Ga. App. 865, 865 (420 SE2d 810) (1992) (citing OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (6)) (punctuation omitted). As the total judgment in favor of Atlantic is less than $10,000.00, the entry of summary judgment provides no basis for a direct appeal in this case. See Ca-Shar, 204 Ga. App. at 865-866. Bryant’s failure to follow the discretionary appeal procedure deprives us of jurisdiction to consider her appeal. See Jennings v. Moss,
235 Ga. App. 357(509 SE2d 655) (1998). Accordingly, the motion to dismiss is GRANTED, and this appeal is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
