Financial Education Services, Inc. v. State of Georgia
Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court
McFadden, Judge.
Financial Education Services, Inc., filed this direct appeal of a superior court order compelling it to comply with an investigative demand issued by the Governor’s Office of Consumer Affairs. We conclude that under binding Supreme Court of Georgia authority, that demand constitutes the decision of an “administrative agency” for the purpose of OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1), and consequently that Financial Education Services was required by that provision to apply for a discretionary appeal. Because it did not do so, we lack jurisdiction over the appeal, and must therefore dismiss.
