Plaintiff Arnold Street LLC filed a complaint against multiple defendants to determine the validity of a security deed. On April 22, 2016, the trial court entered a final judgment in favor of the defendants, finding the security deed was valid and enforceable. On May 24, 2016, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal. We, however, lack jurisdiction.
To be timely, a notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days after entry of an appealable order. OCGA § 5-6-38 (a). The proper and timely filing of a notice of appeal is an absolute requirement to confer jurisdiction on this Court. Rowland v. State, 264 Ga. 872, 872 (1) (452 S.E.2d 756) (1995). The plaintiff filed its notice of appeal 32 days after entry of the trial court's order. Thus, the notice of appeal is untimely. Accordingly, this appeal is therefore DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
