Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15A0579. ZAREM v. SOUTHCOAST PROPERTIES, LLC et al .

      Allison Zarem filed an application for discretionary review of the trial court’s
order entering judgment in her favor in the amount of $2,622.92. We granted the
application because, although the litigation began as a dispossessory proceeding in
magistrate court, the state court’s review was not de novo and, thus, the discretionary
appeal procedure required under OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (11) did not apply here.
However, a closer review reveals that a discretionary application was indeed required,
albeit on a different basis - namely, that Zarem sought to appeal in an action for
damages in which the judgment is $10,000 or less. OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (6). See
Harpagon Co., LLC v. Davis, 283 Ga. 410, 412 (658 SE2d 633) (2008).
      In any event, following our review of the case, including consideration of the
complete record on appeal, we have determined that there was no error in the trial
court’s decision.
      The application for discretionary appeal having thus been improvidently
granted, the appeal is hereby DISMISSED. See Williams v. McCarthy, 329 Ga. App.
85, 86 (763 SE2d 748) (2014).
