Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

                                      ATLANTA,____________________
                                               August 04, 2022

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A23A0043. WILFREDO MONTES v. JAYHILL TRUCKING et al.

       Wilfredo Montes seeks to appeal from 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, 279 (471 SE2d
59) (1996). Because Montes failed to follow the proper appellate procedure, his
appeal is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. See Adivari, 221 Ga. App. at
279.
