JOHNSON v. REEMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE APPEALS COMMISSION (2019)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Tandra JOHNSON, Appellant, v. REEMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE APPEALS COMMISSION, Appellee.

No. 1D19-3334

Decided: November 20, 2019

Tandra Johnson, pro se, Appellant. No appearance for Appellee.

The Court has determined that Appellant's notice of appeal failed to invoke its appellate jurisdiction in a timely manner. To be timely, a notice of appeal must be filed with the appropriate court within 30 days of rendition of the order on appeal. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.110(b). Merely mailing the notice or having the notice placed in a post office box within the required time period is not sufficient. See Raysor v. Raysor, 706 So. 2d 400, 401 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998). Further, the filing of a notice of appeal is jurisdictional. Florida courts are required to dismiss an appeal if the notice is not filed within the applicable time limit. See Miami-Dade Cty. v. Peart, 843 So. 2d 363 (Fla. 3d DCA 2003). Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.

Per Curiam.

Lewis, Winokur, and Jay, JJ., concur.
