                                                  January 26, 2016

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A16A0751. THOMAS JACKSON v. MARK BUTLER, COMMISSIONER OF
    GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR et al.

      In this direct appeal, Thomas Jackson seeks review of the superior court’s order
dismissing his petition for judicial review of a decision of the Georgia Department
of Labor denying his claim for unemployment benefits. Under OCGA § 5-6-35 (a)
(1), however, appeals from orders of superior courts reviewing decisions of state
administrative agencies must be made by application for discretionary review. See
Dunlap v. City of Atlanta, 272 Ga. 523, 524 (531 SE2d 702) (2000). Because Jackson
failed to file an application for discretionary review, we lack jurisdiction to consider
this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
