IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA DANIEL DOTSON, Appellant, NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED v. CASE NO. 1D06-1618 STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. ___________________________/ Opinion filed September 11, 2006. An appeal from the Circuit Court for Escambia County. Nickolas P. Geeker, Judge. Daniel Dotson, pro se, Appellant. Charles Crist, Attorney General, and Bryan Jordan, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. Having considered the appellant's response to this Court's order of July 13, 2006, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The notice of appeal filed on March 20, 2006, appealing the order on the appellant s postconviction motion, rendered on February 13, 2006, is untimely. Because the notice of appeal was filed more than 30 days after rendition of the order and the unauthorized motion for rehearing did not delay rendition, this Court is without appellate jurisdiction. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.110(b). DISMISSED. ALLEN, WEBSTER, and DAVIS, JJ., CONCUR. 2
