Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                       ATLANTA,__________________
                                                September 04, 2014

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A14A2290. MARILYN K. MBI v. TD BANK USA, NA.

      The trial court entered default judgment against Marilyn K. Mbi in the amount
of $8,314.90 as well as post-judgment interest and court costs. Mbi filed a notice of
appeal from this ruling. We, however, lack jurisdiction.
      Under OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (6), appeals in all actions for damages in which the
judgment is $10,000 or less must comply with the discretionary appeal procedures.
Because this suit is an action for damages and the judgment entered was less than
$10,000, a discretionary application was required under OCGA § 5-6-35. See
Jennings v. Moss, 253 Ga. App. 357 (509 SE2d 655) (1998). Given Mbi’s failure to
file an application, this appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
