Case No. 20000777-CA

F I L E D
October 19, 2000

2000 UT App 289 -----

First District Juvenile, Brigham City Department
The Honorable Jeffrey R. Burbank

Attorneys:
Dale M. Dorius and Justin C. Bond, Brigham City, for Appellants
Jan Graham and Carol L.C. Verdoia, Salt Lake City, for Appellee
Martha Pierce, Salt Lake City, Guardian Ad Litem

-----

Before Judges Greenwood, Billings, and Orme.

PER CURIAM:

A notice of appeal must "be filed with the clerk of the trial court within 30 days after the date of entry of the judgment or order appealed from." Utah R. App. P. 4(a). The order appellants seek to appeal was entered on May 15, 2000. Their notice of appeal was not filed with the trial court until September 6, 2000, well after the thirty day appeal period.

Because appellants' notice of appeal was late, we have no alternative but to dismiss their appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Utah R. App. P. 4(e) (giving only trial court authority to extend time to appeal, but limiting amount of time that can be given for extension).
