Unemployment compensation. Fulton Superior Court. Before Judge Alexander.

Oliver, Maner Gray, Wendy W. Williamson, Duffey Feemster, Dwight Feemster, Charles P. Daly, for appellant.

BEASLEY, Judge.

Appellant seeks to review by direct appeal a superior court order affirming the decision of the Georgia Department of Labor regarding a claim for unemployment compensation. In doing so, it failed to obtain an order from this court granting permission for appeal pursuant to OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1). This requirement is jurisdictional and mandates dismissal of the appeal. Cook v. Caldwell, 166 Ga. App. 452 ( 305 S.E.2d 187) (1983); Hogan v. Taylor County Bd. of Education, 157 Ga. App. 680 ( 278 S.E.2d 106) (1981); Tri-State Bldg. c. Co. v. Reid, 251 Ga. 38 ( 302 S.E.2d 566) (1983); Wheeler v. Strickland, 248 Ga. 85 ( 281 S.E.2d 556) (1981). Compare Green v. Tanner, 186 Ga. App. 715, 716 ( 368 S.E.2d 162) (1988).

Appeal dismissed. Carley, C. J., and McMurray, P. J., concur.
