The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15A0672. RODOLFO TARANGO v. THELMA DILLARD GRAY.

      Rodolfo Tarango, while represented by the law firm of Farah and Farah, sued
Thelma Dillard Gray. Tarango voluntarily dismissed that action. Attorney Kevin
Elwell left Farah and Farah and, acting as sole counsel for Tarango, filed a renewal
action against Gray. Farah and Farah filed an attorney lien in the case for services
rendered on behalf of Tarango, and Tarango moved to cancel the attorney lien filed
by Farah and Farah. The trial court denied the motion, and Tarango filed this direct
appeal. We lack jurisdiction.
       The underlying case remains pending in the trial court, and it is apparent from
the face of the order that it is not a final judgment within the meaning of OCGA § 5-
6-34 (a). Because the order is interlocutory, Tarango was required to follow the
discretionary appeal procedures of OCGA § 5-6-34 (b). Tarango’s failure to follow
these procedures deprives this Court of jurisdiction to consider the appeal, which is
hereby DISMISSED.
