Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ June 01, 2020 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A20A1484. VINCENT T. WRIGHT v. PROFORCE STAFFING, INC. In this direct appeal, Vincent T. Wright 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, 279 ( 471 SE2d 59 ) (1996).
