Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                       ATLANTA,____________________
                                                April 20, 2017

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A17A1490. NICOLA HUDSON v. MARK BUTLER, COMMISSIONER OF
    GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR et al.

      In this direct appeal, Nicola Hudson seeks review of the superior court’s order
affirming a decision of the Georgia Department of Labor, which denied Hudson’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). Hudson’s failure to follow the required appellate procedure
deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
