Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                     ATLANTA,__________________
                                               August 26, 2014

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A14A2248.  RUFUS MAZYCK v. JP MORGAN CHASE BANK
    ASSOCIATION.

      JP Morgan Chase Bank Association filed a dispossessory action against Rufus
Mazyck in magistrate court. Following an adverse judgment, Mazyck appealed to the
state court, which entered final judgment and a writ of possession in favor of JP
Morgan.     Mazyck 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, Mazyck 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). His failure to do so deprives us of
jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
