Legal Issues

Disposition

  • The appeal was dismissed due to the untimely filing of the notice of appeal by the Defendant.

Reasons

  • VARGAS, Judge (with MEDINA, Judge and ZAMORA, Judge concurring): The court found that the Defendant's notice of appeal was filed one day late, beyond the thirty-day period required after the entry of the district court's final order. The timely filing of a notice of appeal is a mandatory precondition for the exercise of jurisdiction. The court observed no exceptional circumstances that would warrant deviation from this strict enforcement of filing deadlines. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed (paras 1-4).
