Pope, Presiding Judge,
concurring specially.
I agree that this case should be dismissed due to Miles’s failure to file an enumeration of errors. Not only did Miles fail to file a separate enumeration of errors as required by Court of Appeals Rule 22 (a), he also neglected to include an enumeration of errors in his brief as required by Court of Appeals Rule 27 (a) (2). This is not a case, therefore, where a party enumerated errors for the Court in his brief, but simply forgot to file the enumerations as a separate document. No enumerations of error have been identified. While it is preferable *488that this Court address the merits of cases before it, in this instance where an appellant has ignored the requirements of OCGA § 5-6-40, dismissal is appropriate. Lewis v. State, 226 Ga. App. 344, 345 (487 SE2d 533) (1997) (Beasley, J., concurring specially).
Decided August 19, 1998
Reconsideration denied September 22, 1998.
Thurbert E. Baker, Attorney General, Mary Beth Westmoreland, Deputy Attorney General, Carol A. Callaway, Neal B. Childers, Senior Assistant Attorneys General, for appellant.
William L. Emmons, pro se.
I am authorized to state that Judge Beasley joins in this special concurrence.
