Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                         ATLANTA,____________________
                                                  April 08, 2024

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A24A1279. TRAVIS NICHOLAS GORDEUK v. THE STATE.

      In March 2021, Travis Nicholas Gordeuk pleaded guilty to possession of
methamphetamine, giving false information to a law enforcement officer, and driving
without a license. He was sentenced to five years, with the first year to be served in
confinement and the balance on probation. On February 8, 2024, the trial court
revoked Gordeuk’s probation and Gordeuk filed this direct appeal. We lack
jurisdiction.
      An appeal from a probation revocation order must be made by application for
discretionary appeal. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (5). “Compliance with the discretionary
appeals procedure is jurisdictional.” Smoak v. Dept. of Human Resources, 221 Ga. App.
257, 257 (471 SE2d 60) (1996). Accordingly, Gordeuk’s failure to follow the proper
procedure deprives us of jurisdiction over this direct appeal, which is hereby
DISMISSED.
