Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ April 22, 2015

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15A1418. CINDY ROBERTS v. MARK BUTLER, COMMISSIONER OF GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR et al.

In this direct appeal, Cindy Roberts seeks review of the superior court’s order affirming the decision of the Georgia Department of Labor denying her claim for unemployment benefits. However, OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1) requires that appeals from orders of superior courts reviewing decisions of state administrative agencies must be made by timely application for discretionary review. See Jamal v. Thurmond, 263 Ga. App. 320 (587 SE2d 809) (2003); Dept. of Corrections v. Mack, 217 Ga. App. 862 (459 SE2d 573) (1995). Because Roberts failed to file an application for discretionary review, this Court lacks jurisdiction to consider the appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
