The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A16A0265. KIM HARPER v. KERRY HART.

      This case originated as a dispossessory action in magistrate court. After an
adverse judgment, Defendant Kim Harper sought review before the superior court.
The superior court also ruled against Harper, who then filed this direct appeal. We,
however, lack jurisdiction.
      “[A]ppeals from decisions of the superior courts reviewing decisions of lower
courts by certiorari or de novo proceedings shall be by application for discretionary
appeal.” Bullock v. Sand, 260 Ga. App. 874, 875 (581 SE2d 333) (2003); see also
OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1). Because Harper did not follow the proper procedure for
requesting appellate review in this case, we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, which
is hereby DISMISSED.
