The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A14A2078. EDDIE CORREIA et al. v. HUGH M. DEJARNETTE, JR. et al.

      Eddie Correia and the other defendants below filed a motion for attorney fees
pursuant to OCGA § 9-15-14. The trial court denied the motion, and the defendants
filed this direct appeal. But appeals from orders granting or denying attorney fees and
litigation expenses under OCGA § 9-15-14 must be made by discretionary
application, not direct appeal. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (10). The defendants’ failure
to comply with the discretionary review procedure deprives us of jurisdiction over
this appeal. See Capricorn Systems v. Godavarthy, 253 Ga. App. 840 (560 SE2d
730) (2002). Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
