Sheffield, 95 So.2d 912 (Fla.1957); Bloomfield v. Mayo, 119 So.2d 417 (Fla. 1st DCA 1960), and culminated in an order rendered March 7, 1975; (2) under the then-applicable and governing provisions of Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 4.1 and 4.5c(l), the order was reviewable within sixty days from rendition; and (3) the ensuing challenge to that order commenced in the circuit court on February 25, 1976 by a complaint for declaratory relief, being more than eleven months after rendition of the administrative order, was untimely and, consequently, the circuit court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the proceeding.
