Synopsis

Ana Maria Olin and Robert A. Del Castillo appealed an order rescheduling a foreclosure sale, but filed their notice of appeal 53 days after the order was rendered, exceeding the 30-day deadline required by Florida appellate rules. The court dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction due to untimely filing.

The court lacks jurisdiction to hear the appeal because the notice of appeal was untimely filed beyond the 30-day deadline established by Fla. R. App. P. 9.110(b). The time requirement for filing a notice of appeal is a jurisdictional requirement, and failure to comply precludes the court from exercising jurisdiction.

This cases involves an appeal of an order rescheduling a foreclosure sale. The order was rendered December 18, 2018. Ms. Olin and Mr. Del Castillo filed their notice of appeal on February 8, 2019 - 53 days later. Fla. R.

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 182 So. 3d 927, 929 (Fla. 3d DCA 2016) (citing Mekertin v. Winn Dixie Stores, Inc., 869 So. 2d 1286, 1288 (Fla. 4th DCA 2004) (“The time for taking an appeal is a jurisdictional requirement established by Fla. R. App. P. 9.110(b). Where the notice of appeal is not filed within thirty days of rendition, the appellate court is precluded from exercising jurisdiction over the appeal.” (quoting Am. Auto. Ass’n v. C.D.S. Towing & Recovery, Inc., 805 So. 2d 1064, 1065 (Fla. 3d DCA 2002))); Chandler v. BAC Home Loans Servicing, 101 So. 3d 948 (Fla. 1st DCA 2012)) (dismissing appeal for untimely notice of appeal).
