Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                      ATLANTA,____________________
                                                February 23, 2016

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A16A0957. DORIS JONES v. WAL-MART STORES, INC., et al.

      In this direct appeal, Doris Jones seeks review of the superior court’s order
affirming a decision of the State Board of Workers’ Compensation. However, an
appeal from a decision of the superior court reviewing a decision of the State Board
of Workers’ Compensation must be brought by application for discretionary appeal.
See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1); Adivari v. Sears, Roebuck & Co., 221 Ga. App. 279 (471
SE2d 59) (1996). Because Jones failed to follow the proper appellate procedure, her
appeal is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. See Adivari, supra.
