FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL
STATE OF FLORIDA
_____________________________
No. 1D20-1772
_____________________________
THOMAS A. SOSNOWSKI,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
_____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Santa Rosa County.
J. Scott Duncan, Judge.
August 19, 2020
PER CURIAM.
The trial court filed its order denying Mr. Sosnowski’s
postconviction motion on April 28, 2020. Mr. Sosnowski had 30
days from that date to file a notice of appeal, but he presumptively
filed his notice of appeal on June 1, 2020, when he gave his notice
to prison officials. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.420(a)(2)(A) (providing for
presumption that an inmate has filed a document “on the date the
inmate places it in the hands of” a corrections official). After
reviewing Mr. Sosnowski’s response to our show cause order, we
DISMISS this appeal as untimely.
ROBERTS, 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.
