MEMORANDUM DECISION
(Not For Official Publication)

Case No. 20020680-CA

F I L E D
November 29, 2002 2002 UT App 393 -----

Fourth District, Provo Department
The Honorable Anthony W. Schofield

Attorneys:
Dee Campanella, Draper, Appellant Pro Se -----

Before Judges Billings, Bench, and Thorne.

PER CURIAM:

This case is before the court on a sua sponte motion for summary dismissal for lack of jurisdiction. See Utah R. App. P. 10(a)(1).

Defendant was sentenced on March 24, 1999. The district court entered a signed order of sentence, judgment, and commitment on March 30, 1999. Defendant filed a notice of appeal on July 22, 2002. Because Defendant's notice of appeal was filed more than thirty days after entry of the final judgment, this court lacks jurisdiction over the appeal. See Utah R. App. P. 4.

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See Varian-Eimac v. Lamoreaux, 767 P.2d 569, 570 (Utah Ct. App. 1989) ("When a matter is outside the court's jurisdiction, it retains only the authority to dismiss the action.").
