*1 Court of Appeals

of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ May 02, 2017 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A17E0051. TRACY KUZMINSKY v. VICKY CHAPMAN.

The deadline for filing a notice of appeal is jurisdictional, so this court is without authority to retroactively extend it “even on grounds such as providential cause and excusable neglect.” Register v. Elliott , 285 Ga. App. 741, 743 (647 S.E.2d 406) (2007). But see Piedmont Hosp., Inc. v. D.M. , 335 Ga. App. 442, 444 (1) (779 S.E.2d 36) (2015). Petitioner’s emergency motion is therefore denied.
