Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                       ATLANTA,____________________
                                                  March 31, 2015

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15A1441. CHRISTIAN MCCLENDON v. THE STATE.

      Christian McClendon pled guilty to robbery in May of 2007, and was sentenced
to twelve years to serve three. In November 2014, the state filed a petition to revoke
McClendon’s probation. The trial court revoked McClendon’s probation, and
McClendon filed a pro se notice of appeal. We, however, lack jurisdiction.
      Because the underlying subject matter of the appeal is the revocation of
McClendon’s probation, he was required to file an application for discretionary
appeal in order to appeal. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (5); White v. State, 233 Ga. App.
873 (505 SE2d 228) (1998). We lack jurisdiction over this direct appeal, which is
therefore DISMISSED.
