                                                  April 12, 2024

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A24A1161. CHENAI HARRIS v. GEORGIA COMMUNITY SUPPORT &
    SOLUTIONS, INC.

      In this civil action, the trial court granted summary judgment to defendant
Georgia Community Support & Solutions, Inc. d/b/a InCommunity, Inc. in an order
entered on January 8, 2024. Plaintiff Chenai Harris filed a notice of appeal on
Thursday, February 8, 2024. We lack jurisdiction.
      A notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days of entry of the judgment or trial
court order sought to be appealed. OCGA § 5-6-38 (a). The proper and timely filing
of a notice of appeal is an absolute requirement to confer appellate jurisdiction on this
Court. Perlman v. Perlman, 318 Ga. App. 731, 739 (4) (734 SE2d 560) (2012). Harris
filed her notice of appeal 31 days after entry of the order she seeks to appeal.
Consequently, this untimely appeal is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
