Shiwila Willis Jones v. Barclays Bank Delaware

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ August 13, 2026 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A27A0052. SHIWILA WILLIS JONES v. BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE. In this action to recover an unpaid credit card balance, Shiwila Willis Jones seeks to directly appeal the trial court’s order granting Barclays Bank Delaware’s motion for summary judgment and awarding it $7,424.84. We, however, lack jurisdiction. “Although the grant of a motion for summary judgment is in general directly appealable, where the amount of the judgment is $10,000 or less, an application for discretionary appeal is required.” Ca-Shar, Inc. v. McKesson Corp., 204 Ga. App. 865, 865 (420 SE2d 810) (1992); see also OCGA § 5-6-35(a)(6). As the amount set forth in the judgment in favor of Barclays is less than $10,000, the entry of summary judgment provides no basis for a direct appeal, see Ca-Shar, Inc., 204 Ga. App. at 865–66, and Jones’s failure to follow the discretionary appeal procedure deprives us of jurisdiction. See Jennings v. Moss, 235 Ga. App. 357, 357 (509 SE2d 655) (1998). Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
