Opinion
Case No. 1D11-4309.
Opinion filed December 9, 2011.
An appeal from an order of the Judge of Compensation Claims. Henry H. Harnage, Judge.
Date of Accident: June 5, 1999.
Bideau Jean, pro se, Appellant.
Salvatore J. Sicuso, Coral Gables, for Appellees.
Upon review of Appellant's response to this court's October 24, 2011, order to show cause, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See § 440.25(5)(a), Fla. Stat. (1997) (providing that JCC orders "shall become final 30 days after mailing of copies of such order to the parties" unless timely appealed); Fla.R.App.P. 9.180(b)(3) (providing this court's jurisdiction is invoked if notice of appeal is filed within thirty days of rendition of order to be reviewed). See also, e.g., Metellus v. State, 900 So. 2d 491, 495 (Fla. 2005) (noting jurisdictional rule cannot be altered by court or by agreement of parties); Metro. Dade County v. Vasquez, 659 So. 2d 355, 356 (Fla. 1st DCA 1995) (dismissing untimely appeal for lack of jurisdiction).
DISMISSED.
