Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                        ATLANTA,____________________
                                                 January 10, 2017

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A17A0818. RICHARD HAYNES v. BENJAMIN KNIPSCHER.

      Defendant Richard Haynes appeals the trial court’s order awarding the plaintiff
$3,907.16 in damages, $500.00 in attorney fees, and court costs in this action for
breach of contract. We lack jurisdiction.
      Appeals in actions for damages in which the judgment is $10,000.00 or less
must be initiated by filing an application for discretionary review. OCGA § 5-6-35
(a) (6), (b); Jennings v. Moss, 235 Ga. App. 357 (509 SE2d 655) (1998). Haynes’s
failure to follow the required appellate procedure deprives us of jurisdiction over this
appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
