Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                       ATLANTA,____________________
                                                June 18, 2019

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A19E0055. STEPHEN FOX et al. v. TRICOUNTY REAL ESTATE
    PROPERTY MANAGEMENT.

      Stephen Fox has filed this emergency motion for an extension of time to file
a discretionary application to appeal an adverse dispossessory judgment entered in
favor of Tricounty Real Estate Property Management. Under Court of Appeals Rule
31 (i), “[n]o extensions of time will be granted to file a discretionary application
unless a motion for extension is filed on or before the application due date.”
      Pursuant to OCGA § 44-7-56, Fox was required to file a discretionary
application within seven days of the date the dispossessory judgment was entered.
Here, the dispossessory judgment was entered on May 22, 2019; Fox’s emergency
motion and amendment to the motion were accepted as “filed” on June 11, 2019.
Because Fox’s amended emergency motion was thus untimely filed, said motion is
hereby DENIED.
