Opinion
FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________
No. 1D17-4980 _____________________________
JOHNNY WELCH,
Petitioner,
v.
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS,
Respondent. _____________________________
Petition for Belated Appeal – Original Jurisdiction.
March 29, 2018
PER CURIAM.
Because this petition seeks belated appeal of a lower tribunal order in a civil matter, the petition for belated appeal is denied. See Powell v. Fla. Dep’t of Corrections, 727 So. 2d 1103 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999) (stating that because the proceedings below were civil in nature, the provisions of Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(c) are not applicable). This disposition is without prejudice to Petitioner’s right, if any he has, to seek relief in the lower tribunal by a motion pursuant to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.540. See Snelson v. Snelson, 440 So. 2d 477 (Fla. 5th DCA 1983).
ROWE, RAY, and MAKAR, JJ., concur. _____________________________
Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________
Johnny Welch, pro se, Petitioner.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Kristen J. Lonergan, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.
