Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ September 09, 2026 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A27D0100. IN THE INTEREST OF S. E. B., A CHILD. Pursuant to OCGA § 15-11-32, the parents of minor child S. E. B. filed a motion to modify or vacate the juvenile court’s order terminating their parental rights. The juvenile court denied the motion, and the parents filed a timely application for discretionary appeal. A juvenile court’s order denying an OCGA § 15-11-32 motion to modify or vacate an order terminating one’s parental rights is directly appealable under OCGA §§ 5-6-34(a)(1) and 15-11-35. See In the Interest of A. M., 324 Ga. App. 512, 512(1) (751 SE2d 144) (2013) (addressing OCGA § 15-11-40 (2013), the predecessor to current § 15-11-32, and OCGA § 15-11-3 (2013), the predecessor to current § 15-11-35). Under OCGA § 5-6-35(j), this Court will grant a timely discretionary application if the lower court’s order is subject to direct appeal. Accordingly, this application is hereby GRANTED. The parents shall have ten days from the date of this order to file a notice of appeal with the juvenile court, if they have not already done so.
