The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A18A1795. ROYLEE SMITH v. JOHN T. WILCHER, SHERIFF.

      In this civil action, the plaintiff Roylee Smith filed a motion for default
judgment. The trial court denied the motion, and Smith filed this appeal. However,
because this action remains pending below, Smith was required to use the
interlocutory appeal procedures – including obtaining a certificate of immediate
review from the trial court – to appeal the trial court’s order. See OCGA § 5-6-34 (b);
Boyd v. State, 191 Ga. App. 435, 435 (383 SE2d 906) (1989). Smith’s failure to do
so deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
