Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ February 10, 2014 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A14A0940. JOANN HOLOMAN v. MICHAEL L. THURMOND et al.

Joann Holoman appealed directly to this Court from a superior court order affirming a decision of the Georgia Department of Labor denying her request for unemployment compensation benefits. Under OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1), however, a party seeking to appeal a superior court decision reviewing a state agency ruling must follow the discretionary appeal procedure. See Dunlap v. City of Atlanta, 272 Ga. 523, 524 (531 SE2d 702) (2000). Because Holoman failed to follow the required procedure, this Court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal, which is therefore DISMISSED.
