Keola Pasteure v. State Farm Fire and Casualty Company

Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________
April 29, 2026

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A26A1761. KEOLA PASTEURE v. STATE FARM FIRE AND CASUALTY
COMPANY.

In this action arising from an automobile collision, the trial court granted
summary judgment to State Farm Fire and Casualty Company in July 2025. More
than eight months later, in March 2026, plaintiff Keola Pasteure filed a notice of
appeal to this Court. However, a notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days of entry
of the trial court order sought to be appealed. OCGA § 5-6-38(a). The proper and
timely filing of a notice of appeal is an absolute requirement to confer appellate
jurisdiction on this Court. Perlman v. Perlman, 318 Ga. App. 731, 739(4) (734 SE2d
560) (2012). Because Pasteure failed to meet this 30-day deadline, this appeal is hereby
DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
