The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A14A2240. JENNIFER SIEWERT v. J. CRAIG NELSON et al.

      This case began as a dispossessory proceeding in magistrate court. After an
adverse ruling, defendant Jennifer Siewert appealed the magistrate court’s decision
to the superior court. The superior court entered judgment and a writ of possession
in favor of J. Craig Nelson and others, and Siewert has appealed that order directly
to this Court.
      Because the superior court’s order disposes of a de novo appeal from a
magistrate court decision, Siewert was required to follow the discretionary appeal
procedures. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1); English v. Delbridge, 216 Ga. App. 366,
367 (454 SE2d 175) (1995). Her failure to do so deprives us of jurisdiction over this
appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
