                                                 September 03, 2015

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15D0543. KATHRINE CLARK v. RICKY G. RAU.

      Kathrine Clark filed this application for discretionary appeal from the trial
court’s order concerning custody of her minor children. Under OCGA § 5-6-34 (a)
(11), direct appeals are permitted from “[a]ll judgments or orders in child custody
cases awarding, refusing to change, or modifying child custody or holding or
declining to hold persons in contempt of such child custody judgment or orders.”
Thus, the order that Clark seeks to appeal is directly appealable.
      We will grant a timely discretionary application if the lower court’s order is
subject to direct appeal. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (j). Accordingly, this application is
hereby GRANTED. Clark shall have ten days from the date of this order to file a
notice of appeal with the trial court. If, however, she has already filed a notice of
appeal, she need not file a second notice. The clerk of the trial court is DIRECTED
to include a copy of this order in the record transmitted to the Court of Appeals.
