1Opinion of the Court
Clarke, Chief Justice.
We granted certiorari in this case to decide whether the trial' court was authorized to dismiss the appeal under OCGA § 5-6-48 (c) because of failure to timely file a transcript. OCGA § 5-6-42 provides that a transcript must be filed within 30 days after the filing of the notice of appeal unless the time is extended as provided by OCGA § 5-6-39. OCGA § 5-6-48 provides that the trial court may, after notice and hearing, order an appeal dismissed for a party’s failure to timely file a transcript if the delay was 1) unreasonable, 2) inexcusable, and 3) caused by such party.
