Truett v. State

71 So. 3d 933, 2011 Fla. App. LEXIS 16133, 2011 WL 4817314

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Upon consideration of the appellant’s response to the Court’s order of August 31, 2011, the Court has determined that the appeal is untimely. In order to invoke the Court’s jurisdiction in a timely manner, the appellant must file a notice of appeal within 30 days of rendition of the judgment and sentence. Fla. R.App. P. 9.140(b)(3). The lower tribunal rendered the judgment and sentence on July 25, 2011. Fla. R.App. P. 9.020(h). The thirtieth day following rendition was Wednesday, August 24, 2011. Thus, the notice of appeal, filed the next day, failed to timely invoke the Court’s jurisdiction. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

DISMISSED.
