The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15D0183. JOHNNY BRETT GREGORY v. J. STEPHEN SCHUSTER,
    JUDGE.

      Johnny Brett Gregory, a prison inmate, seeks to vacate an order entered in a
civil action for damages. The order, which was entered on July 28, 2011, granted the
defendant’s motion to have UCC documents filed by Gregory removed from the
transaction registry. We lack jurisdiction.1
      An application for discretionary appeal must be filed within 30 days of the
entry of the order to be appealed. OCGA § 5-6-35 (d); Hill v. State, 

 (

) (1992). Gregory, however, filed his case more than three years
after the entry of the trial court’s order. For this reason, this application for
discretionary appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.

      1
        Gregory originally filed his case in the Supreme Court, which ordered that the
case be re-docketed as a discretionary application and transferred to this Court. Even
utilizing the date provided on the proof of service supplied by Gregory, October 2,
2014, his appeal is nonetheless untimely.
