No. 1D20-3287
_____________________________
MICHAEL MINTON,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
_____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Escambia County.
Coleman Lee Robinson, Judge.
January 4, 2021
PER CURIAM.
The postconviction court rendered its final order denying
Minton’s rule 3.850 motion on September 25, 2020. We presume
that the filing date for Minton’s notice of appeal is November 2,
2020, the date “stamped for filing by the clerk of the court.” Fla. R.
App. P. 9.420(a)(2); cf. Fla. R. App. P. 9.420(a)(2)(A), (B) (describing
exceptions to this presumption, neither of which is applicable
here). We DISMISS this untimely appeal for want of jurisdiction. See
Fla. R. App. P. 9.110(b) (requiring that an appeal be filed within
thirty days of rendition of the final order); Fla. R. App. P.
9.141(b)(1) (making the requirements of rule 9.110 applicable to
appeals of orders denying postconviction motions like Minton’s).
OSTERHAUS, NORDBY, and TANENBAUM, JJ., concur.
_____________________________
Not final until disposition of any timely and
authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
9.331.
