Anthony Rashad Donaldson filed this direct appeal from the trial court’s order revoking his probation. However, an application for discretionary appeal is required to appeal an order revoking probation. OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (5); see Todd v. State, 236 Ga. App. 757, 758 ( 513 SE2d 287 ) (1999). “Compliance with the discretionary appeals procedure is jurisdictional.” Smoak v. Dept. of Human Resources, 221 Ga. App. 257, 257 ( 471 SE2d 60 ) (1996). Because Donaldson did not comply with the discretionary appeals procedure, this direct appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
