Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia
ATLANTA,____________________
October 12, 2016
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
A17A0374. ANGELO BENJAMIN v. MARK BUTLER, COMMISSIONER OF
GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR et al.
In this direct appeal, Angelo Benjamin seeks review of the superior court’s
order affirming a decision of the Georgia Department of Labor, which denied
Benjamin’s claim for unemployment benefits. We lack jurisdiction.
Under OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1), appeals from orders of superior courts
reviewing decisions of state administrative agencies must be initiated by filing an
application for discretionary review. See Dunlap v. City of Atlanta, 272 Ga. 523, 524
(531 SE2d 702) (2000). Benjamin’s failure to follow the required appellate procedure
deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
