Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                       ATLANTA,____________________
                                                 October 09, 2014

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15A0287. LISA JOSEPH v. CITI MORTGAGE, INC.

      Citi Mortgage, Inc. obtained a writ of possession against Lisa Joseph in
magistrate court. Joseph appealed to the superior court, which issued a final order
granting a writ of possession to Citi Mortgage. Joseph then filed this direct appeal.
We lack jurisdiction.
      Because the case reached the superior court by virtue of a de novo appeal from
magistrate court, Joseph was required to follow the discretionary appeal procedures
to seek appellate review in this Court. 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.
