Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ January 24, 2022 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A22A0782. THADDEUS D. GLADDIN v. THE STATE. Thaddeus D. Gladdin pleaded guilty to aggravated battery and was sentenced to 15 years, to serve 5 months. Gladdin filed a motion for credit for time served, which the trial court denied on July 19, 2021. On August 19, 2021, Gladdin filed a notice of appeal. We lack jurisdiction. A notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days of entry of the judgment or trial court order sought to be appealed. OCGA § 5-6-38 (a). The proper and timely filing of a notice of appeal is an absolute requirement to confer jurisdiction on this Court. Redford v. State,357 Ga. App. 247
, 250 (850 SE2d 447) (2020). Gladdin’s notice of appeal was filed 31 days after entry of the trial court’s order denying his motion. Thus, pretermitting whether Gladdin has a right of direct appeal of this order, this appeal is untimely and is therefore DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. See id.; Hill-Blount v. State,336 Ga. App. 633
, 634-635 (2) (785 SE2d 309) (2016).
