Appellee, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, D/B/A Christiana Trust, as Trustee for the Pretium Mortgage Acquisition Trust (Wilmington), seeks dismissal of this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Because appellants, Ana Maria Olin and Robert A. Del Castillo a/k/a Robert Anthony Del Castillo, filed their notice of appeal beyond thirty days from the date of rendition of the order on appeal, we grant Wilmington's motion and dismiss this appeal for lack of 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. App. P. 9.110(b) provides that an appellant shall file a notice with the clerk of the lower tribunal within thirty days of rendition of the order to be reviewed. Thus, Ms. Olin and Mr. Del Castillo were required to file their notice of appeal on or before January 17, 2019, in order to timely invoke this Court's jurisdiction.
Florida courts of appeal have routinely granted motions to dismiss following the untimely filing of a notice of appeal because the court does not have jurisdiction to hear the case. See Bryant v. 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). Failure to timely invoke this Court's jurisdiction requires dismissal.
Dismissed.
