Eric Lee Fink v. State

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ September 14, 2026 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A27D0095. ERIC LEE FINK v. THE STATE. On July 23, 2026, the trial court revoked the balance of Eric Lee Fink’s probation. On August 25, 2026, Fink filed an application for discretionary review in this Court. We, however, lack jurisdiction. To be timely, an application for discretionary appeal must be filed within 30 days of entry of the order sought to be appealed. OCGA § 5-6-35(d). The requirements of OCGA § 5-6-35 are jurisdictional, and this Court cannot accept an application for appeal not made in compliance with these requirements. Boyle v. State, 190 Ga. App. 734, 734 (380 SE2d 57) (1989). Because Fink filed this application on August 25, 33 days after entry of the order revoking his probation, it is untimely. Accordingly, we are without jurisdiction to consider this application and it is hereby DISMISSED.
