Harvey v. U.S. Nature-Invest Holdings - Appeal Dismissed as Untimely

The Court of Appeals of Georgia dismissed Reginald Charles Harvey's appeal for lack of jurisdiction because his notice of appeal was filed 38 days after the trial court's order, exceeding the 30-day deadline required by OCGA § 5-6-38(a). The court held that timely filing of a notice of appeal is an absolute requirement to confer appellate jurisdiction. Harvey had also sought a certificate of immediate review, which the trial court dismissed as untimely.
