Text: We find that I Corp.'s second motion literally recites the arguments previously raised and previously ruled upon by the trial court in I Corp.'s first motion. The second motion was not, despite its caption, an appropriate Rule 59(e) motion. It was simply a successive motion for JNOV and new trial, and thus did not toll the time for serving the notice of appeal. I Corp. did not serve its notice of intent to appeal within the time prescribed in Rule 203, SCACR. We therefore dismiss the appeal as untimely. See Mears v. Mears, 287 S.C. 168, 337 S.E.2d 206 (1985) (timely service of the notice of intent to appeal is a jurisdictional requirement, and this Court has no authority to extend or expand the time in which the notice of intent to appeal must be served). MOORE, A.C.J., WALLER, BURNETT and PLEICONES, JJ., and Acting Justice GEORGE T. GREGORY, JR., concur.
