Opinion

FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________

No. 1D2023-2410 _____________________________

ROBERT SMITH,

Petitioner,

v.

GOV. RON D. DESANTIS, et al.,

Respondents. _____________________________

Petition for Belated Appeal—Original Jurisdiction.

July 31, 2024

PER CURIAM.

Because Petitioner seeks a belated appeal of a circuit court order entered in a civil matter, the Court dismisses the petition for lack of jurisdiction. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.141 (authorizing a petition for belated appeal only for “review proceedings in collateral or postconviction criminal cases”); Perez v. Jones, 174 So. 3d 1088 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015) (explaining that this Court lacks the authority to grant a belated appeal in a civil proceeding).

ROWE, NORDBY, and LONG, JJ., concur. _____________________________

Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________

Robert Smith, pro se, Petitioner.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondents.
