The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A17A0556. AVALON RESTORATION COMPANY, LLC v. STEVEN EVANS.

      Following the entry of judgment in the defendant’s favor, plaintiff Avalon
Restoration Company, LLC, filed a notice of direct appeal from the trial court’s order
awarding the defendant OCGA § 9-15-14 attorney fees. We lack jurisdiction to
consider the appeal because such awards must be appealed by application for
discretionary review. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (10); Jones v. Padgett, 186 Ga. App.
362, 363 (2) (367 SE2d 88) (1988). The failure of Avalon Restoration Company,
LLC, to comply with the discretionary appeal requirements deprives this Court of
jurisdiction to consider its appeal, which is therefore DISMISSED.
