Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ July 14, 2014 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A14A1972. ROSCOE EMORY DEAN, JR. v. MARY DRAWDY DIAZ. Mary Diaz filed a suit on a note against Roscoe Dean. The trial court entered judgment in favor of Diaz for $5,900. Dean appealed directly to this Court. We lack jurisdiction. Where, as here, the total judgment is $10,000 or less, the aggrieved party must follow the discretionary appeal procedures in OCGA § 5-6-35. See OCGA § 5-635(a) (6). The appellant’s failure to comply with these procedures deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED. See Hill v. Rose Electric Co., 220 Ga. App. 603 ( 469 SE2d 844 ) (1996); Klobe v. Montgomery Ward & Co., 178 Ga. App. 164 ( 342 SE2d 496 ) (1986).
