Faye Spicer v. Mark Butler, Commissioner of Ga Department of Labor

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,__________________ September 10, 2014

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A14A2329. FAYE SPICER v. MARK BUTLER, COMMISSIONER OF GA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, et al.

On June 11, 2014, this Court granted Faye Spicer’s application for discretionary appeal. The order notified Spicer that she would have 10 days from the date of the order to file her notice of appeal. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (g). On July 2, 2014, 21 days later, Spicer filed her notice of appeal. The timely filing of a notice of appeal is an absolute requirement to confer jurisdiction on this Court. See White v. White, 188 Ga. App. 556 (373 SE2d 824) (1988). Because Spicer failed to file her notice of appeal within 10 days of our order granting her application, her notice of appeal is untimely. Accordingly, this appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. See Barnes v. Justis, 223 Ga. App. 671 (478 SE2d 402) (1996); OCGA § 5-6-35 (g).
