Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                        ATLANTA,____________________
                                                 October 03, 2019

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A20A0446. TICLAIR SEVERE v. ELVIA RAMOS TELLEZ.

      On July 26, 2019, the trial court entered an order modifying visitation. On
August 30, 2019, Ticlair Severe, the minor child’s father, filed a notice of appeal.
We, however, lack jurisdiction.
      A notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days of entry of the 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. Rowland v. State, 264
Ga. 872, 872 (1) (452 SE2d 756) (1995). Because Severe filed his notice of appeal
35 days after entry of the trial court’s order, his appeal is untimely, and it is hereby
DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
