Opinion

Because Petitioner seeks a belated appeal of a circuit court order entered in a civil matter, the Court dismisses the petition for lack of jurisdiction. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.141 (authorizing a petition for belated appeal only for “review proceedings in collateral or postconviction criminal cases”); Perez v. Jones, 174 So. 3d 1088 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015) (explaining that this Court lacks the authority to grant a belated appeal in a civil proceeding).

Per Curiam.

Rowe, Nordby, and Long, JJ., concur.
