Doris Jones v. Wal-Mart Stores Inc.

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.
