This appeal is from the trial court’s order denying Toni Davis’s “Davis” motion to intervene in a suit involving a deed to secure debt on real property. Finding that Davis failed to follow the necessary appellate procedures, we dismiss the appeal. In 1978, Davis and her husband purchased real property on Bonway Drive, in Decatur, Georgia, and recorded a security deed in favor of the Phillips-Harrington Corporation. In 2004, Davis’s daughters, Sondra Davis and Ronda Davis, received a loan from Ameriquest Mortgage Company “Ameriquest” in the amount of $84,500, and executed a security deed on the Bonway Drive property in favor of Ameriquest; at the time, they averred that they were the owners of the property. On July 15, 2005, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company “Deutsche Bank”, as assignee of Ameriquest, filed a complaint against Sondra Davis and Ronda Davis on the loan, sought judicial foreclosure on the property, a decree of specific performance vesting title in Deutsche Bank under OCGA § 9-11-70, and damages for bad faith. On May 25, 2007, Davis moved to intervene in the suit; Deutsche Bank filed a response to Davis’s motion to intervene and moved for partial summary judgment against Sondra Davis and Ronda Davis. In a single order, the trial court granted partial summary judgment to Deutsche Bank and denied Davis’s motion to intervene; Davis then filed a notice of appeal.
Deutsche Bank asserts that Davis’s direct appeal should be dismissed for failure to follow the interlocutory appeal procedures of OCGA § 5-6-34 a. We agree. It has long been established that “the denial of a motion to intervene is not a final judgment and thus, is reviewable under the interlocutory appeal procedure. See OCGA § 5-6-34; Wallace v. Bledsoe , 244 Ga. 674 261 SE2d 399 1979; Atlanta Dev. Co. v. Peel & Sons , 189 Ga. App. 453 377 SE2d 552 1988.” Morman v. Bd. of Regents &c. of Ga. , 198 Ga. App. 544 402 SE2d 320 1991. In re H.E.M. , 283 Ga. App. 354, 355 641 SE2d 597 2007. See also Coker Props., L.P. v. Brooks , 278 Ga. 638 604 SE2d 766 2004; Walls v. Walls , 278 Ga. 206 599 SE2d 173 2004. Failure to comply with the requirements of OCGA § 5-6-34 a results in the dismissal of the appeal. Rhymes v. East Atlanta Church of God, Inc. , 284 Ga. 145 663 SE2d 670 2008.
