Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                          ATLANTA,____________________
                                                   August 15, 2018

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A19D0014. MARVIS MCDANIEL-IVEY v. IRVIN J. JOHNSON et al.

       The State filed a motion to quash a subpoena seeking to compel the attendance
of the district attorney at a hearing in this civil action. After the superior court granted
the State’s motion, plaintiff Marvis McDaniel-Ivey filed, in the Supreme Court, an
application for discretionary appeal seeking appellate review of the order granting the
motion to quash and several other orders entered in this action and two related
superior court proceedings. The Supreme Court docketed McDaniel-Ivey’s request
for review of each order as a separate application, each of which it then transferred
to this Court. The application seeking review of the order granting the State’s motion
to quash has been docketed in this Court as Case No. A19D0014.1 We lack
jurisdiction.
       Nothing on the face of the superior court order at issue here suggests that it is
a final order that disposes of all issues in the superior court action. Thus,
pretermitting whether an application for discretionary review was required here,
McDaniel-Ivey was required to follow the interlocutory appeal procedures set forth
in OCGA § 5-6-34 (b) to appeal this order. See Bailey v. Bailey, 266 Ga. 832, 832-
833 (471 SE2d 213) (1996); Scruggs v. Ga. Dept. of Human Resources, 261 Ga. 587,

       1
         The other applications have been docketed in this Court as Case
Nos. A19D0015, A19D0016, and A19D0017. The Supreme Court also transferred to
this Court a prior, related application filed by McDaniel-Ivey in one of the related
superior court actions, which has been docketed in this Court as Case No. A19D0003.
We dismiss the applications in Case Nos. A19D0003, A19D0015, A19D0016, and
A19D0017 by separate orders.
588-589 (1) (408 SE2d 103) (1991). Her failure to do so deprives us of jurisdiction
over this application, which is hereby DISMISSED. See Bailey, 266 Ga. at 833.
