The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A19D0367. DANIEL ERIC COBBLE v. DENISE FACHINI.

      On March 6, 2019, state prisoner Daniel Cobble filed this application for
discretionary review, purportedly seeking to appeal a December 4, 2018 trial court
order that denied filing of his petition for a writ of mandamus.1 However, Cobble has
failed to submit a file-stamped copy of the order he seeks to appeal, in violation of
Court of Appeals Rule 31 (c), and instead has submitted a subsequent trial court order
that granted his request to proceed in forma pauperis. Consequently, on March 8,
2019, we ordered Cobble to supplement his application within ten days with a
stamped “filed” copy of the order to be appealed. We indicated that failure to comply
with this directive would result in dismissal of the application. Cobble has failed to
comply with this directive. Regardless, we lack jurisdiction for multiple reasons.
      To the extent that Cobble seeks discretionary review of the order granting his
request to proceed in forma pauperis, we lack jurisdiction for two reasons. First, the
limited record materials Cobble has submitted contain no indication that this is a final
order that resolved all issues in this case. Consequently, Cobble’s failure to use the
interlocutory appeal procedures, including obtaining a certificate of immediate review
from the trial court, deprives us of jurisdiction over this application. See OCGA
§ 5-6-34 (b); Boyd v. State, 191 Ga. App. 435, 435 (383 SE2d 906) (1989). Second,
because Cobble was not aggrieved by the order granting his request to proceed in
forma pauperis, he has no legal right to appeal that decision. See Cooper Motor
Lines, Inc. v. B. C. Truck Lines, Inc., 215 Ga. 195, 195 (1) & (2) (109 SE2d 689)

      1
          This is Cobble’s thirty-fifth filing in this Court since 2002.
(1959); see also In the Interest of J. R. P., 287 Ga. App. 621, 622-624 (1) & (2) (652
SE2d 206) (2007); Morgan v. Miller, 191 Ga. App. 803, 804 (383 SE2d 183) (1989).
      To the extent that Cobble seeks to appeal the December 4 order, we likewise
lack jurisdiction, also for two reasons. First, we denied Cobble’s prior application for
discretionary review of the December 4 order in Cobble v. Fachini, No. A19D0233
(Jan. 3, 2019). Our denial of that application bars further appellate review of the
December 4 order. See Ross v. State, 310 Ga. App. 326, 327 (713 SE2d 438) (2011)
(“[A]ny issue that was raised and resolved in an earlier appeal is the law of the case
and is binding on this Court . . . .”) (punctuation omitted); Hook v. Bergen, 286 Ga.
App. 258, 261 (1) (649 SE2d 313) (2007) (“[T]he denial of an application for
discretionary appeal is an adjudication on the merits of the underlying order and acts
as res judicata in subsequent proceedings.”). Second, an application for discretionary
review must be filed within 30 days of entry of the order or judgment to be appealed.
OCGA § 5-6-35 (d). The requirements of OCGA § 5-6-35 are jurisdictional, and this
Court cannot accept an application for appeal not made in compliance therewith.
Boyle v. State, 190 Ga. App. 734, 734 (380 SE2d 57) (1989). Cobble’s instant
application was untimely filed 92 days after entry of the December 4 order.
      For each of the above reasons, we lack jurisdiction over this application, which
is hereby DISMISSED.
