Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                      ATLANTA,____________________
                                               May 02, 2017

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A17E0051. TRACY KUZMINSKY v. VICKY CHAPMAN.

      The deadline for filing a notice of appeal is jurisdictional, so this court is
without authority to retroactively extend it “even on grounds such as providential
cause and excusable neglect.” Register v. Elliott, 285 Ga. App. 741, 743 (647 S.E.2d
406) (2007). But see Piedmont Hosp., Inc. v. D.M., 335 Ga. App. 442, 444 (1) (779
S.E.2d 36) (2015). Petitioner’s emergency motion is therefore denied.
