Opinions
We conclude that the notice of appeal herein was not timely filed and, therefore, dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The post-judgment motion filed by counsel was not timely, and therefore did not suspend rendition of the circuit court’s final order. See Fire & Casualty Ins. Co. of Conn. v. Sealey, 810 So.2d 988 (Fla. 1st DCA 2002). Because appellant was represented by counsel, the pro se “Motion for Relief from Judgment” was a legal nullity. See Marsh v. State, 919 So.2d 540 (Fla. 3d DCA 2005); Booker v. State, 807 So.2d 800 (Fla. 1st DCA 2002). As such, the pro se motion likewise did not postpone rendition of the trial court’s final order.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
