    (376 SE2d 686)
    Decided January 19, 1989.

      Martin, Snow, Grant & Napier, John T. McGoldrick, Jr., for appellees.
   Marshall, Chief Justice.

This is a direct petition to this Court for a writ of mandamus to compel the Court of Appeals to accept the petitioner’s application for appellate review as timely filed.

There being a specific remedy by certiorari, the right of mandamus does not lie. OCGA §§ 5-6-15; 9-6-20; McClung v. Richardson, 232 Ga. 530 (207 SE2d 472) (1974); Hayes v. Brown, 205 Ga. 234 (52 SE2d 862) (1949).

Petition for writ dismissed.

All the Justices concur, except Hunt, J., not participating.
