James Johnson v. Florida Department of Corrections

FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________ No. 1D19-0166 _____________________________ JAMES JOHNSON, Appellant, v. FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, Appellee. _____________________________ On appeal from the Circuit Court for Hamilton County. Andrew J. Decker, III, Judge. February 28, 2019 PER CURIAM. Upon consideration of Appellant’s response to the Court’s order of January 14, 2019, the Court has determined that the appeal is untimely. In order to timely invoke the Court’s appellate jurisdiction, a notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days of rendition of the order to be reviewed. Fla. R. App. P. 9.110(b). The thirtieth day following rendition of the order on appeal was January 2, 2019. Thus, the notice of appeal, filed on January 3, 2019, failed to invoke the Court’s appellate jurisdiction in a timely manner. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. ROBERTS, WETHERELL, and MAKAR, JJ., concur. _____________________________ Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________ James Johnson, pro se, Appellant. No appearance for Appellee. 2
