Head Matter:
Michelle DALLAS, Appellant, v. REEMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE APPEALS COMMISSION and Oasis HR Solution II, Appellees.
No. 1D15-0247.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
May 27, 2015.
Michelle Dallas, pro se, Appellant.
Norman A. Blessing, General Counsel, Reemployment Assistance Appeals Commission, Tallahassee, for Appellee (no appearance).

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The Court has determined that appellant's notice of appeal failed to invoke its appellate jurisdiction in a timely manner. To be timely, a notice of appeal must be filed with the appropriate court within 30 days of rendition of the order on appeal. Fla. R. App. P. 9.110(b). Merely mailing the notice or having the notice placed in a post office box within the required time period is not sufficient. Raysor v. Raysor, 706 So.2d 400, 401 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998). Further, the filing of a notice of appeal is jurisdictional. Florida courts are required to dismiss an appeal if the notice is not filed within the applicable time limit. See Miami-Dade County v. Peart, 843 So.2d 363 (Fla. 3d DCA 2003). Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
BENTON, CLARK, and MAKAR, JJ., concur.
