Eddie Green v. City of Atlanta ( 2014 )

Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,____________________
October 20, 2014
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A15A0362. EDDIE GREEN v. CITY OF ATLANTA et al.
On January 31, 2014, the superior court entered an order granting summary
judgment to the defendants in this case. On March 7, 2014, the plaintiff, Eddie Green,
filed a notice of appeal. We, however, lack jurisdiction.
A notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days after the entry of the trial
court’s order. OCGA § 5-6-38 (a). The proper and timely filing of a notice of appeal
is an absolute requirement to confer jurisdiction upon this Court. Couch v. United
Paperworkers Intl. Union, 224 Ga. App. 721 (482 SE2d 704) (1997). Here, Green
filed his notice of appeal 35 days after entry of the order he seeks to challenge.
Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction to consider this untimely appeal, and it is hereby
DISMISSED.
