                                      ATLANTA,____________________
                                               July 13, 2021

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A21A1700. YAHYA QASIM v. BOARD OF DIRECTORS, KEYSTONE
    GATES CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION.

      On April 7, 2020, the trial court dismissed Yahya Qasim’s civil action seeking
damages arising out of his purported ownership of a parking space. Qasim filed a
notice of appeal on June 3, 2021. We lack jurisdiction.
      A notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days after the entry of the trial
court’s order. OCGA § 5-6-38 (a). The proper and timely filing of a notice of appeal
is an absolute requirement to confer jurisdiction upon this Court. Couch v. United
Paperworkers Intl. Union, 224 Ga. App. 721, 721 (482 SE2d 704) (1997); see
Rowland v. State, 264 Ga. 872, 872 (1) (452 SE2d 756) (1995). Qasim filed his notice
of appeal 57 days after the trial court entered the order he wishes to appeal.
Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
