Per Curiam. 
{¶ 1} We dismiss the appeal of appellant, Michael Manuel, because 
although he challenges the court of appeals’ November 10, 2009 judgment 
denying his petition for a writ of mandamus, he failed to file a timely appeal from 
that judgment.  S.Ct.Prac.R. 2.2(A)(1).  His amended motion for rehearing, 
whether construed as a motion for reconsideration or a Civ.R. 60(B) motion for 
relief from judgment, did not extend his time to appeal the judgment.  State ex rel.
