A lawsuit was filed against defendant Connie C. Sanders to recover on a promissory note. Sanders and third-party plaintiff, Mighty Oak, LLC, filed cross- motions for partial summary judgment. The trial court granted Mighty Oak’s motion and denied Sanders’ motion, finding that Sanders was liable under the note as a matter of law. Sanders seeks interlocutory review of this ruling.

Under OCGA § 9-11-56 (h), the grant of summary judgment on any issue or as to any party is reviewable by direct appeal. See City of Demorest v. Town of Mt. Airy , 282 Ga. 653, 654 n.1 (653 SE2d 43) (2007); Whiddon v. Stargell , 192 Ga. App. 826, 827-828 (386 SE2d 884) (1989). We will grant a timely application for interlocutory appeal if the order complained of is directly appealable and the applicant has not already filed a timely notice of appeal. See Spivey v. Hembree , 268 Ga. App. 485, 486 n.1 (602 SE2d 246) (2004). Accordingly, this interlocutory application is hereby GRANTED. Sanders shall have ten days from the date of this order to file a notice of appeal in the trial court. If she has already filed a timely notice of appeal from the order at issue here, she need not file a second notice. The clerk of *2 the trial court is directed to include a copy of this order in the record transmitted to the Court of Appeals.
