Order

In this direct appeal, the City of Augusta seeks review of the superior court's order affirming an administrative decision of the Georgia Department of Public Health. The trial court's order, however, is not subject to direct appeal.

Pursuant to OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1), appeals from orders of superior courts reviewing decisions of state administrative agencies must be initiated by filing an application for discretionary review. See Dunlap v. City of Atlanta, 272 Ga. 523, 524 (531 S.E.2d 702) (2000). The City's failure to follow the required appellate procedure deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
