                                                 August 25, 2014

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A14A2254. BEVERLY PYNE v. THR GEORGIA LLC d/b/a RIVERSTONE
    SINGLE FAMILY HOME.

      THR Georgia LLC filed a dispossessory action against Beverly Pyne in
magistrate court. Following an adverse judgment, Pyne appealed to the superior court,
which, after granting THR Georgia LLC’s motion for summary judgment, entered a
writ of possession in favor of THR Georgia, LLC. Pyne then appealed directly to this
Court. We, however, lack jurisdiction.
      Because the order to be appealed disposes of a de novo appeal from a
magistrate court decision, Pyne was required to follow the discretionary appeal
procedures. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (11); Strachan v. Meritor Mortgage Corp. East,
216 Ga. App. 82 (453 SE2d 119) (1995). Her failure to do so deprives us of
jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
