The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A20A1117. GLENDA M. MARCUS v. SYLVESTER MARCUS, SR.

      Glenda M. Marcus and Sylvester Marcus, Sr. divorced in October 2018. On
July 31, 2019, the trial court entered an order resolving several post-judgment
motions filed by Glenda, who filed this direct appeal.1 We lack jurisdiction.
      “Appeals from judgments or orders in divorce, alimony, and other domestic
relations cases” must be made by application for discretionary appeal. OCGA § 5-6-
35 (a) (2). “[C]ompliance with the discretionary appeals procedure is jurisdictional.”
Fabe v. Floyd, 199 Ga. App. 322, 332 (1) (405 SE2d 265) (1991). Accordingly, we
lack jurisdiction to consider this direct appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
