Full Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ August 26, 2026 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A27A0205. EMMANUEL RAMON FURAODD v. JP MORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A. As the executor of the Emmanual Ramon Family of Furaodd Estate, Emmanuel Ramon Furaodd filed a petition for a temporary restraining order and injunctive relief against JP Morgan Chase, Bank, N.A., and the bank’s legal representative. In December 2025, the trial court dismissed Furaodd’s action, and he filed a motion to set aside the judgment pursuant to OCGA § 9-11-60(d), which the trial court denied. Furaodd then filed this direct appeal. We lack jurisdiction. An appeal from the denial of a motion to set aside under OCGA § 9-11-60(d) must be initiated by filing an application for discretionary review. OCGA § 5-6-35(a)(8), (b); Jim Ellis Atlanta v. Adamson, 283 Ga. App. 116, 116–17 (640 SE2d 688) (2006). Compliance with the discretionary appeals procedure is jurisdictional. Smoak v. Dep’t of Human Resources, 221 Ga. App. 257, 257 (471 SE2d 60) (1996). Because Furaodd failed to follow the required appellate procedure, we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
