954 So. 2d 684

Docket No. 1D07-1096.

Sullivan v. State

George James SULLIVAN, Petitioner, v. STATE of Florida, Respondent.

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 2007-04-16

Relies on Hollingsworth v. Szczecina

Decided 2007-04-16

¶1George James Sullivan, pro se, Petitioner.

¶2Bill McCollum, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.

¶3PER CURIAM.

¶4Petitioner seeks belated appeal of a civil order. Although Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure. 9.141(c) authorizes this court to grant belated appeal in criminal cases, there is no corresponding appellate rule to obtain belated appeal in a civil case. See Hollingsworth v. Szczecina, 731 So.2d 790 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999) (holding that where the proceedings below are civil in nature, *685 the appellate court lacks the authority to grant a belated appeal).

¶5PETITION DENIED.

¶6KAHN, POLSTON, and THOMAS, JJ., concur.
