CITY OF CLEVELAND, Appellee, v. ABRAITIS, Appellant.
    [Cite as Cleveland v. Abraitis (2001), 146 Ohio App.3d 306.]
    Court of Appeals of Ohio, Eighth District, Cuyahoga County.
    No. 78110.
    Decided Oct. 10, 2001.
    
      
      Lauren C. Moore, Chief Prosecutor, for appellee.
    
      Sarunas Abraitis, pro se.
    
   Terrence O’Donnell, Judge.

Sarunas Abraitis appeals from a final judgment of conviction entered on April 12, 2000. Appellant filed a motion for reconsideration on April 14, 2000, which the trial court denied on May 15, 2000. Subsequently, on May 31, 2000, appellant filed a notice of appeal.

A motion for reconsideration is not provided for in the Rules of Criminal Procedure and is therefore a nullity and does not suspend the time for filing a notice of appeal. Accord, e.g., In re Grand Jury (June 1, 1995), Washington App. Nos. 93CA09 and 93CA10, 93CA12, unreported, 1995 WL 365386; State v. Marini (June 29, 1998), Tuscarawas App. Nos. 97 AP 020016 and 97 AP 120082, unreported, 1998 WL 429884; see, also, Pitts v. Ohio Dept. of Transp. (1981), 67 Ohio St.2d 378, 379-381, 21 0.0.3d 238, 423 N.E.2d 1105. Therefore, appellant has failed to file a timely notice of appeal pursuant to App.R. 4(A).

Appeal dismissed.
