The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A18A2145. MARION SIMPKINS v. BEYLOL INN.

      Marion Simpkins filed an action in Fulton County Magistrate Court against
Beylol Inn for suit on account, claiming the building in which she was renting was
not up to code. The magistrate court found in favor of Beylol Inn, and Simpkins
appealed to the Fulton County State Court, which also ruled against her. Simpkins
then filed a notice of appeal from the state court’s order. We, however, lack
jurisdiction.
      An appeal from a state court order disposing of a de novo appeal from a
magistrate court decision must be initiated by filing an application for discretionary
review. OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (11); see Strachan v. Meritor Mtg. Corp. East, 216 Ga.
App. 82 (453 SE2d 119) (1995). Simpkin’s failure to comply with the required
appellate procedure deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby
DISMISSED.
