Stephen H. Foster v. Victor Warren Properties, Inc.

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ August 04, 2026 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A27A0007. STEPHEN H. FOSTER v. VICTOR WARREN PROPERTIES, INC. Plaintiff Victor Warren Properties, Inc. filed a complaint in superior court for a post-foreclosure writ of possession against Stephen H. Foster and all other occupants of the subject property. The plaintiff and Foster filed cross-motions for summary judgment, and on May 28, 2026, the superior court entered a final order granting the plaintiff’s motion, denying Foster’s motion, and granting possession of the property to the plaintiff. On June 29, 2026, Foster filed this appeal. We, however, lack jurisdiction. Under OCGA § 44-7-56(b)(1), a notice of appeal in a dispossessory action “shall be filed within seven days of the date such judgment was entered.” Here, however, Foster filed his notice of appeal 32 days after entry of the superior court’s order. Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction over this untimely appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED. See Stubbs v. Local Homes, LLC, 375 Ga. App. 513, 516 (915 SE2d 91) (2025).
