Case No. 20000507-CA

August 31, 2000 2000 UT App 252 -----

Original Proceeding in this Court

Attorneys:
Jonathan B. Russell, Murray, Appellant Pro Se
Lorin R. Blauer, Salt Lake City, for Appellee

-----

Before Judges Jackson, Billings, and Orme.

PER CURIAM:

Russell's petition for review, by which he sought to appeal the March 31, 2000 decision of the Workforce Appeals Board, is untimely. Utah Rule of Appellate Procedure 14(a) requires that a petition for review be filed "within 30 days after the date of the written decision" sought to be appealed. The March 31st decision informed Russell that he must file an appeal with this court "within 30 days of the date this decision is issued," but he did not do so until June 12, 2000, well after the thirty day deadline.

Accordingly, we have no alternative but to dismiss Russell's appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
