The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A19A1533. MICHAEL DARNELL PARSON v. THE STATE.

      A jury found Michael Darnell Parson guilty of multiple crimes, and his
convictions were affirmed in an unpublished opinion. See Parson v. State, Case No.
A16A0608, decided June 21, 2016. Parson subsequently filed an extraordinary
motion for new trial, which the trial court denied. Parson then filed this direct appeal.
We, however, lack jurisdiction.
      An order denying an extraordinary motion for a new trial must be appealed by
application for discretionary appeal. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (7); Balkcom v. State,
227 Ga. App. 327, 329 (489 SE2d 129) (1997). Parson’s failure to follow the requisite
appellate procedure deprives us of jurisdiction to consider this appeal, which is
hereby DISMISSED.
