Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                       ATLANTA,____________________
                                                June 15, 2021

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A21A0826. FOREIGN BROTHERS AUTO SALES, LLC v. CANDY NEESE.

      The trial court entered a default judgment against defendant Foreign Brothers
Auto Sales, LLC. Thereafter, Foreign Brothers filed a motion to set aside the default
judgment pursuant to OCGA § 9-11-60 (d), which the trial court denied. Foreign
Brothers then appealed directly to this Court. We, however, lack jurisdiction.
      “[T]he denial of a motion to set aside a final judgment under OCGA § 9-11-60
is not directly appealable and instead requires the filing of an application for
discretionary appeal under OCGA § 5-6-35 (b).” Jim Ellis Atlanta, Inc. v. Adamson,
283 Ga. App. 116, 116 (640 SE2d 688) (2006); see OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (8). Foreign
Brothers’s failure to follow the required appellate procedure deprives us of
jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
