    of the State of Georgia
    ATLANTA,____________________
    October 24, 2018
    The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
    A19A0440. WILLIE JAMES MAYS v. THE STATE.
    In September 2010, Willie James Mays entered a negotiated guilty plea to
    burglary and was sentenced 20 years with the first 5 years to serve in confinement.
    We affirmed the trial court’s denial of Mays’s motion to withdraw his plea and
    request for an out-of-time appeal in an unpublished opinion. See Mays v. State, Case
    No. A12A0534 (decided May 18, 2012). In May 2018, the entirety of Mays’s
    probation was revoked. In July 2018, Mays filed a pro se “Motion to Correct Void
    Sentence,” in which he challenged the revocation of his probation. The trial court
    denied his motion, and Mays filed this direct appeal. We, however, lack jurisdiction.
    Because the underlying subject matter of Mays’s appeal is the revocation of his
    probation, he was required to file an application for discretionary appeal to obtain
    review in this Court. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (5); Jones v. State, 
    322 Ga. App. 269
    ,
    269 n. 2 (745 SE2d 1) (2013); Zamora v. State, 
    226 Ga. App. 105
    , 105 (485 SE2d
    214) (1997). His failure to do so deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal.
    Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
