Full Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ August 07, 2026 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A27D0015. JOHN P. CURRY v. SARAH OWENSBY. John Curry has timely filed a discretionary application from the trial court’s order denying his motion to vacate a void judgment and awarding attorney fees under the anti-SLAPP statute, OCGA § 9-11-11.1(b.1).1 No discretionary application is required, however, as “[a]ll judgments or orders entered pursuant to Code Section 9-11-11.1” are directly appealable under OCGA § 5-6-34(a)(13), and this action does not appear to fall within one of the categories of cases for which a discretionary application is required to seek appellate review under OCGA § 5-6-35(a). Under OCGA § 5-6-35(j), this Court will grant a timely application for discretionary review if the lower court’s order is subject to direct appeal. See City of Rincon v. Couch, 272 Ga. App. 411, 412 (612 SE2d 596) (2005). Accordingly, this application is hereby GRANTED. Curry shall have ten days from the date of this order to file a notice of appeal in the trial court. See OCGA § 5-6-35(g). If he has already filed a notice of appeal in the trial court, then he need not file a second notice. 1 We affirmed the trial court’s order granting Sarah Owensby’s motion to strike under the anti-SLAPP statute in Curry v. Owensby, No. A25A2181 (Ga. App. Oct. 1, 2025) (unpublished). The clerk of the trial court is DIRECTED to include a copy of this order in the record transmitted to the Court of Appeals.
