Raymond Salas, Jr., filed this direct appeal from the superior court’s order affirming the decision of Appellate Division of the State Board of Workers’ Compensation. We lack jurisdiction.

Pursuant to OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1), a party seeking to appeal “from decisions of the superior courts reviewing decisions of the State Board of Workers’ Compensation” must comply with the discretionary appeal procedures set forth in OCGA § 5-6-35. Because Salas failed to follow these procedures, his appeal is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
