DENIED . The proceedings in the trial court were civil in nature, so there is no authority to grant a belated appeal. See Hollingsworth v. Szczecina , 731 So. 2d 790, 791 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999) ; cf. Fla. R. App. P. 9.141 ("Review Proceedings in Collateral or Postconviction Criminal Cases"); Powell v. Fla. Dep't of Corrections , 727 So. 2d 1103 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999) (stating that the predecessor provisions of Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(c) were not applicable to civil proceedings).
Wolf, Rowe, and Tanenbaum, JJ., concur.
