                                       ATLANTA,____________________
                                                September 04, 2018

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A18A2098. ROBERTA LEFFT v. ROBERT PALUMBO.

      Roberta Lefft has filed a notice of direct appeal from the trial court’s order
awarding OCGA § 9-15-14 attorneys fees. Appellee Robert Palumbo has filed a
motion to dismiss, arguing that the order is not subject to direct appeal. Palumbo is
correct. Pursuant to OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (10), an order awarding attorneys fees under
OCGA § 9-15-14 may be appealed only by application for discretionary appeal. See
Jones v. Padgett, 186 Ga. App. 362, 363 (2) (367 SE2d 88) (1988). Accordingly, the
motion to dismiss is GRANTED, and this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
