George James SULLIVAN, Petitioner,
v.
STATE of Florida, Respondent.
No. 1D07-1096.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
April 16, 2007.George James Sullivan, pro se, Petitioner.
Bill McCollum, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM.
Petitioner seeks belated appeal of a civil order. Although Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure. 9.141(c) authorizes this court to grant belated appeal in criminal cases, there is no corresponding appellate rule to obtain belated appeal in a civil case. See Hollingsworth v. Szczecina, 731 So. 2d 790 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999) (holding that where the proceedings below are civil in nature, *685 the appellate court lacks the authority to grant a belated appeal).
PETITION DENIED.
KAHN, POLSTON, and THOMAS, JJ., concur.
