District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

J.M., Father of E.M. and K.M., Minor Children, Appellant, v. DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, Appellee.

No. 1D19-0510

Decided: March 20, 2019

Michael A. Tupper of Tupper Law, P.A., Jacksonville, for Appellant. Ward L. Metzger, Appellate Counsel, Children's Legal Services, Jacksonville, for Appellee.

Upon consideration of Appellant's response to the Court's order of February 12, 2019, the Court has determined that its jurisdiction to review the Final Judgment for Termination of Parental Rights, rendered on December 4, 2018, was not invoked in a timely fashion. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. The dismissal is without prejudice to the Appellant's right to seek relief in the trial court. In the Interest of E.H., 609 So. 2d 1289 (Fla. 1992).

Per Curiam.

Roberts, Ray, and Jay, JJ., concur.
