Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ April 02, 2020 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A20D0348. KELVIN KELLEY v. CORECIVIC OF TN, LLC et al.

After the State Board of Workers’ Compensation denied Kelvin Kelley’s claim for benefits, Kelley appealed to the superior court. On June 21, 2019, the superior court entered an order affirming the State Board’s decision.1 On March 12, 2020, Kelley sent this Court a document, which has been docketed as the instant application for discretionary appeal, stating that he is seeking review of the superior court’s June 21, 2019 order. We lack jurisdiction because the application is untimely.

An application for discretionary appeal must be filed within 30 days of the entry of the order or judgment to be appealed. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (d). The requirements of OCGA § 5-6-35 are jurisdictional, and this Court cannot accept an application for appeal not made in compliance therewith. See Boyle v. State, 190 Ga. App. 734, 734 (380 SE2d 57) (1989). Here, Kelley filed this application on March 12, 2020, which is 265 days after the superior court’s order was entered. His application is thus untimely, and it is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.

Kelley filed a motion for out-of-time appeal, which the superior court denied.

His attempt to obtain appellate review of that order was dismissed. See Case No. A20D0255 (dismissed on Jan. 23, 2020).
