Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,__________________ February 06, 2014

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A14A0831. ALVIN MOORE v. GEORGIA PACIFIC CORP.

In this direct appeal, Alvin Moore seeks review of the superior court’s order affirming a decision of the State Board of Workers’ Compensation.1 We lack jurisdiction. An appeal from a decision of the superior court reviewing a decision of the State Board of Workers’ Compensation must be brought by application for discretionary appeal. OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1); Adivari v. Sears, Roebuck & Co., 221 Ga. App. 279 (471 SE2d 59) (1996). Because Moore failed to follow the proper appellate procedure, his appeal is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. See Adivari, supra.

1 Moore also filed an application for discretionary review of the same order. We dismissed that application as untimely. See Case No. A14D0104 (Order of November 21, 2013).
