Leon Pugh v. the Olde Pink House Restaurant

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,__________________ March 13, 2013

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A13A1204. LEON PUGH v. THE OLDE PINK HOUSE RESTAURANT.

Leon Pugh filed a notice of direct appeal from a superior court order affirming a decision of the Georgia Department of Labor concerning his application for unemployment benefits. Under OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1), however, a party seeking to appeal a superior court decision reviewing a state agency ruling must follow the discretionary appeal procedure.1 See Dunlap v. City of Atlanta, 272 Ga. 523, 524 (531 SE2d 702) (2000). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction over this direct appeal, and it is hereby DISMISSED.

, Clerk.

1 Pugh also filed an application for discretionary review from the same order. See A12D0037. That application was dismissed as untimely on October 7, 2011.
