The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15A0889. KEVIN WILLIAMS v. DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST
    COMPANY.

      Deutsche Bank National Trust Company filed a dispossessory action against
Kevin Williams in magistrate court. The magistrate court entered judgment in favor
of the bank, after which Williams appealed to the superior court. The superior court
dismissed the appeal, and Williams then filed a notice of appeal to this Court.
Because the order at issue disposes of a de novo appeal from a magistrate court
decision, Williams was required to follow the discretionary appeal procedures. See
OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1); Dean’s Catering v. Strum & Associates, 231 Ga. App. 202
(498 SE2d 786) (1998); English v. Delbridge, 216 Ga. App. 366, 367 (454 SE2d 175)
(1995). His failure to do so deprives us of jurisdiction over this direct appeal, which
is hereby DISMISSED.
