of the State of Georgia

                                        ATLANTA,____________________
                                                 January 24, 2024

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A24I0109. ATLANTA IMPOUND, INC. v. YARON ATTIA.

      Atlanta Impound, Inc. filed this timely application for interlocutory review of
the trial court’s order granting Yaron Attia’s motion for class certification. Pursuant
to OCGA § 9-11-23 (g), “[a] court’s order certifying a class or refusing to certify a
class shall be appealable in the same manner as a final order to the appellate court
which would otherwise have jurisdiction over the appeal from a final order in the
action.” Thus, the order at issue here may be appealed directly.
      This Court will grant a timely application for interlocutory review if the order
complained of is subject to direct appeal and the applicant has not otherwise filed a
notice of appeal. Spivey v. Hembree, 268 Ga. App. 485, 486, n. 1 (602 SE2d 246)
(2004). Accordingly, Atlanta Impound’s application is hereby GRANTED. Atlanta
Impound shall have 10 days from the date of this order to file a notice of appeal with
the trial court. OCGA § 5-6-34 (b). If Atlanta Impound already has filed a notice of
appeal in the trial court, then it need not file a second notice. The clerk of the trial
court is DIRECTED to include a copy of this order in the appellate record.
