SOGNIER, Judge.
Appellant contends error in the denial of his extraordinary motion for a new trial, filed subsequent to this court's decision affirming his conviction of armed robbery. Doby v. State, 173 Ga. App. 348 ( 326 S.E.2d 506) (1985).
Effective July 1, 1984, OCGA § 5-6-35 was amended to require applications to appeal orders denying extraordinary motions for new trial when separate from an original appeal. The section applies to criminal cases. OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (7), Ga. L. 1984, p. 599. There being no application to appeal the trial court's order in this case, the appeal is dismissed. Pitts v. State, 254 Ga. 298 ( 328 S.E.2d 732) (1985).
Appeal dismissed. Banke, C. J., and Birdsong, P. J., concur.
DECIDED MAY 28, 1986 — REHEARING DENIED JUNE 5, 1986 — CERT. APPLIED FOR.
