The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15A1675. DEMETRIUS C. JOHNSON v. LAW OFFICE OF STANLEY M.
    LEFCO, P.C.

      The trial court entered default judgment against Demetrius Johnson in the
amount of $3,384.41. Johnson filed a notice of appeal from this ruling. We, however,
lack jurisdiction.
      Under OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (6), appeals in all actions for damages in which the
judgment is $10,000 or less must comply with the discretionary appeal procedures.
Because this suit is an action for damages and the judgment entered was less than
$10,000, a discretionary application was required under OCGA § 5-6-35. See
Jennings v. Moss, 253 Ga. App. 357 (509 SE2d 655) (1998). Given Johnson’s failure
to file an application, this appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
