Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                       ATLANTA,____________________
                                                 October 28, 2015

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A16D0083. TRAVIS FLEMING v. THE STATE.

      Travis Fleming seeks appellate review of the trial court’s order revoking his
probation. We lack jurisdiction to review the application because it is untimely.
      An application for discretionary appeal must be filed within 30 days of the
entry of the order or judgment to be appealed. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (d). The
requirements of OCGA § 5-6-35 are jurisdictional, and this Court cannot accept an
application for appeal not made in compliance therewith. See Boyle v. State, 190 Ga.
App. 734 (380 SE2d 57) (1989). Here, the trial court’s order was entered on
December 9, 2014, and Fleming filed his application on October 1, 2015, which was
296 days later.1 Therefore, the application is untimely, and it is hereby DISMISSED
for lack of jurisdiction.

      1
        Fleming attempted to file his application earlier, but it was not accepted for
filing because, among other reasons, he did not include a copy of the trial court’s
order.
