Diane Somerset v. Mark Butler, Commissioner of Georgia Department of Labor

Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________
January 08, 2016

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A16A0662. DIANE SOMERSET v. MARK BUTLER, COMMISSIONER OF
GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, et al.

In this direct appeal, Diane Somerset seeks review of the superior court’s order
affirming the decision of the Georgia Department of Labor denying her claim 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. 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.
