Order
On August 11, 2016, this Court granted an application for discretionary appeal filed by the mother and father, which sought review of the trial court's order terminating their parental rights. The order directed them to file a notice of appeal within 10 days of the date of the order. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (g). Fifteen days later, on August 26, 2016, the mother and father filed their notice of appeal.
The timely filing of a notice of appeal is an absolute requirement to confer jurisdiction on this Court. White v. White, 188 Ga.App. 556, 556 (373 S.E.2d 824) (1988). Because the mother and father failed to file a notice of appeal within 10 days of our order granting the discretionary application, the notice of appeal is untimely. Accordingly, this appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
