Tamra Tuggle v. Hi-Site Holdings, LLC ( 2019 )

Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,____________________
February 14, 2019
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A19A1369. TAMRA TUGGLE v. HI-SITE HOLDINGS, LLC.
This case began as a dispossessory proceeding in magistrate court. Following
an adverse ruling in that court, defendant Tamra Tuggle appealed to the state court,
which issued a writ of possession in favor of plaintiff Hi-Site Holdings, LLC. The
defendant then appealed directly to this Court. The plaintiff has filed a motion to
dismiss the appeal.
An appeal from a state court order disposing of a de novo appeal from a
magistrate court decision must be initiated by filing an application for discretionary
review. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (11); Strachan v. Meritor Mtg. Corp. East, 216 Ga.
App. 82, 82 (453 SE2d 119) (1995). The defendant’s failure to do so deprives us of
jurisdiction over this appeal. Accordingly, the plaintiff’s motion to dismiss is
GRANTED, and this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
