September 21, 2020 PER CURIAM.
Upon consideration of Appellant’s response to the Court’s order of June 2, 2020, the Court has determined that the notice of appeal was not timely filed. Because this is a civil matter, Appellant’s request that the Court grant him a belated appeal is denied. See Powell v. State, 727 So. 2d 1103 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999). Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
