  • Court of Appeals
    of the State of Georgia
    ATLANTA,____________________
    June 15, 2017
    The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
    A17A1835. JOHN C. GRAHAM v. STEPHANIE A. CURTIS.
    On March 29, 2017, the trial court entered a consent stalking twelve-month
    protective order against John C. Graham. On May 1, 2017, Graham filed a pro se
    notice of appeal from this order. We lack jurisdiction.
    A notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days after entry of the trial court’s
    order. OCGA § 5-6-38 (a). The proper and timely filing of a notice of appeal is an
    absolute requirement to confer jurisdiction upon this Court. See Perlman v. Perlman,
    
    318 Ga. App. 731
    , 739 (4) (734 SE2d 560) (2012).
    Here, Graham filed his notice of appeal 33 days after the entry of the trial
    court’s order underlying his appeal. Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction to consider this
    appeal, which is therefore DISMISSED.
