The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A17A1672. TERRENCE WILSON v. GATEWAY ONE LENDING &
    FINANCE, LLC.

       Defendant Terrence Wilson appeals the state court’s order granting the
plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment and awarding the plaintiff $6,603.03 in
principal, $434.54.00 in interest, $728.45.00 in attorney fees, and court costs in this
contract dispute. We lack jurisdiction.
       “Although the grant of a motion for summary judgment is in general directly
appealable, where the amount of the judgment is $10,000 or less, an application for
discretionary appeal is required.” Ca-Shar, Inc. v. McKesson Corp., 204 Ga. App.
865, 865 (420 SE2d 810) (1992) (punctuation omitted); see also OCGA § 5-6-35 (a)
(6). As the total judgment in favor of the plaintiff is for less than $10,000, the entry of
summary judgment provides no basis for a direct appeal in this case. See Ca-Shar,
Inc., supra at 865-866. Because Wilson failed to follow the required procedure, we
lack jurisdiction to consider his appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED. See Jennings
v. Moss, 235 Ga. App. 357 (509 SE2d 655) (1998).
