Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                       ATLANTA,____________________
                                                 February 11, 2015

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15D0238. WASEEM DAKER v. THE STATE.

       Waseem Daker was convicted of two counts of aggravated stalking, and his
convictions were affirmed on appeal on April 11, 2000.1 Over the past few years,
Daker has filed a multitude of applications and motions in this court.2 The present
application involves an October 7, 2014 order denying Daker’s “Writ of Coram
Nobis.” Daker originally filed his discretionary application in the Supreme Court on
December 8, 2014. The Supreme Court transferred it to this Court. We, however, lack
jurisdiction.
       To be timely, a discretionary application must be filed within 30 days of entry
of the order to be appealed. OCGA § 5-6-35 (d); Hill v. State, 204 Ga. App. 582 (420
SE2d 393) (1992). Because this application was filed 62 days after entry of the order
Daker seeks to appeal, it is untimely. We thus lack jurisdiction to consider the
application, which is hereby DISMISSED. See Hill, supra.
