Curtis Farmer has filed an application for discretionary appeal of the trial court's order establishing his paternity of a minor child and requiring him to pay child support. The trial court entered its order on March 24, 2016, and Farmer filed his application on October 24, 2016. We lack jurisdiction.
To be timely, a discretionary application 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 therewith. Boyle v. State, 190 Ga.App. 734, 734 (380 S.E.2d 57) (1989). Because this application was filed 214 days after entry of the order Farmer seeks to appeal, it is untimely, and we lack jurisdiction to consider it. Accordingly, this application is hereby DISMISSED.
