¶1Under App.R. 26(B)(2)(b), an application for reopening requires “a showing of good cause for untimely filing if the application is filed more than ninety days after journalization of the appellate judgment.” In State v. Reddick (1995), 72 Ohio St.3d 88, 90, 647 N.E.2d 784, 786, we held that an applicant who seeks to “reopen an appellate judgment journalized before July 1, 1993, may not simply rely on the fact that App.R. 26(B) did not exist within the ninety days *152following journalization of the appellate judgment, but must show good cause why he … did not attempt to invoke the procedures available under former App.R. 26 and (14)(B).” Appellant seeks to reopen the appellate judgment of July 19, 1984, but fails to show good cause for nearly ten years’ delay. We agree with the court of appeals that the application to reopen must be denied as untimely upon its face.
¶2The judgment of the court of appeals is therefore affirmed.
¶3Judgment affirmed.
