Jgd Properties, LLC v. Frank Zarcone

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ April 02, 2015 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A15A1385. JGD PROPERTIES, LLC. v. FRANK ZARCONE. On September 10, 2014, the trial court denied JGD Properties, LLC’s motion for summary judgment. JGD Properties filed a motion for reconsideration, and the trial court denied that motion on November 13, 2014. JGD Properties then filed a notice of appeal from both court orders on December 2, 2014. We lack jurisdiction. First, the denial of a motion for reconsideration is not directly appealable and does not extend the time for appealing the underlying judgment. See Bell v. Cohran, 244 Ga. App. 510, 511 ( 536 SE2d 187 ) (2000). Further, an order denying a motion for summary judgment is an interlocutory order, not a final judgment. Sharpe’s Appliance Store, Inc. v. Anderson, 161 Ga. App. 112 ( 289 SE2d 312 ) (1982). Therefore, to appeal such an order, a party must comply with the interlocutory appeal procedure of OCGA § 5-6-34 (b). For these reasons, this appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
