Case Information
*1 Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ August 16, 2017 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A18D0031. BILAL JACKSON v. THE STATE.
On May 18, 2017, the juvenile court entered an order denying Bilal Jackson’s extraordinary motion for new trial. On June 21, 2017, Jackson filed an application for discretionary appeal in the Georgia Supreme Court, which transferred the application here. We lack jurisdiction.
An application for discretionary appeal must be filed within 30 days of entry of the order to be appealed. OCGA § 5-6-35 (d); Hill v. State , 204 Ga. App. 582 (420 SE2d 393) (1992). Here, Jackson filed his application 34 days after the entry of the juvenile court’s order. The requirements of OCGA § 5-6-35 are jurisdictional, and this Court cannot accept an application for appeal not made in compliance therewith. See Boyle v. State , 190 Ga. App. 734 (380 SE2d 57) (1989). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction, and the application is hereby DISMISSED.
