[201 Ga.App. 168] SOGNIER, Chief Judge.

Chrysler Financial Services Corporation filed an action against Nancy Robenolt, seeking to foreclose its security interest in Robenolt's mobile home. The trial court granted a writ of possession to Chrysler, and in Case No. A91A1263 Robenolt appeals from the denial of her motion to vacate and set aside the judgment granting the writ, or in the alternative, for a new trial. In Case No. A91A1264, Robenolt appeals from the trial court's subsequent order requiring her to make payments on the underlying debt pending appeal. The [201 Ga.App. 169] two appeals are consolidated for review.

1. OCGA § 5-6-35(a)(8) provides that appeals from "orders under subsection (d) of Code Section 9-11-60 denying a motion to set aside a judgment" are discretionary, requiring application for leave to appeal. In State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Yancey, 258 Ga. 802, 375 S.E.2d 39 (1989), the Supreme Court held that this legislative requirement is mandatory and may not be circumvented by filing a direct appeal from the denial of a motion for new trial which includes enumerations pertaining also to the denial of a motion to set aside. The holding in Southeast Ceramics v. Klem, 246 Ga. 294, 271 S.E.2d 199 (1980) does not apply in those circumstances, Yancey, supra at n. 1, and any enumerations

in such a direct appeal contending error in the denial of the motion to set aside the judgment must be dismissed for failure to follow proper appellate procedure. Accordingly, the portion of Case No. A91A1263 pertaining to the denial of appellant's motion to vacate and set aside the trial court's judgment is dismissed.

2. In her second enumeration of error, appellant contends the trial court erred by denying her motion for new trial because the writ of possession was granted without holding a trial as required by OCGA § 44-14-233(c). The record reveals that a rule nisi was scheduled on the petition for writ of possession, and the parties agree that the original hearing was continued by consent. In her brief on appeal, appellant contends the rescheduled evidentiary hearing did not take place, while appellee, in its brief, states that the...
