TEVIN ERRINGTON JENKINS,
Petitioner,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Respondent.
_____________________________
Petition for Belated Appeal—Original Jurisdiction.
October 27, 2021
PER CURIAM.
This petition for belated appeal alleges that the petitioner
requested an appeal of his May 24, 2021, judgment and sentence
on July 19, 2021. Because the petitioner’s request for appeal was
made more than 30 days after rendition of the sentence, the
petition for belated appeal is denied. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.140(b)(3);
cf. State v. Trowell, 739 So. 2d 77, 81 (Fla. 1999) (holding that an
appellate court should grant a petition seeking a belated appeal if
the defendant alleges that a timely request of counsel to file the
notice of appeal was made and that counsel failed to do so).
RAY, OSTERHAUS, and NORDBY, JJ., concur.
_____________________________
Not final until disposition of any timely and
authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
9.331.
