City of Augusta v. Georgia Department of Public Health

Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________
June 08, 2017

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A17A1673. CITY OF AUGUSTA v. GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
HEALTH.

In this direct appeal, the City of Augusta seeks review of the superior court’s
order affirming an administrative decision of the Georgia Department of Public
Health. The trial court’s order, however, is not subject to direct appeal.
Pursuant to 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). The City’s failure to follow the required appellate procedure
deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
