Vincent T. Wright v. Proforce Staffing, Inc.

Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ June 01, 2020

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A20A1484. VINCENT T. WRIGHT v. PROFORCE STAFFING, INC.

In this direct appeal, Vincent T. Wright seeks review of the superior court’s order affirming a decision of the State Board of Workers’ Compensation. However, 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. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1); Adivari v. Sears, Roebuck & Co., 221 Ga. App. 279, 279 (471 SE2d 59) (1996). Because Wright failed to follow the proper appellate procedure, his appeal is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. See Adivari, 221 Ga. App. at 279.
