Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ October 04, 2012 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A13D0047. CHARLES HARPER v. COMMISSIONER OF THE GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, et al.

The Georgia Department of Labor denied Charles Harper’s claim for unemployment compensation, and Harper appealed to the superior court. On June 22, 2012, the superior court entered an order affirming the Department’s decision. On September 11, 2012, Harper filed this application for discretionary review.

A discretionary application must be filed within 30 days of entry of the order to be appealed. OCGA § 5-6-35 (d); Hill v. State, 204 Ga. App. 582 (420 SE2d 393) (1992). Here, Harper filed his application 81 days after entry of the order he seeks to appeal. We lack jurisdiction to consider an untimely application for discretionary appeal. See Hill, supra. Accordingly, this application is hereby DISMISSED.
