LAVAUGHN WEATHERLY,

STATE OF FLORIDA,
Respondent.

Petition for Belated Appeal—Original Jurisdiction.
February 12, 2021
PER CURIAM.
Petitioner seeks a belated appeal from an August 5, 2019,
order denying his postconviction motion. Petitioner’s untimely
motion for rehearing did not delay rendition of this order. See Fla.
R. App. P. 9.020(h)(1). Thus, he had until September 4, 2019, to
file a timely notice of appeal. The petition does not show that
Petitioner was prevented through no fault of his own from filing a
timely notice of appeal by September 4, 2019. Accordingly, the
petition for belated appeal is denied on the merits.
BILBREY, WINOKUR, and NORDBY, JJ., concur.
