PER CURIAM.

      DENIED. See Powell v. Florida Dep’t of Corr., 727 So. 2d 1103 (Fla. 1st

provisions of Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.140(j) (now rule 9.141(c)) are

not applicable). See also Hollingsworth v. Szczecina, 731 So. 2d 790, 791 (Fla. 1st
DCA 1999) (dismissing untimely civil appeal “without prejudice to [appellant’s]

right to seek relief in the trial court by motion pursuant to Florida Rule of Civil

Procedure 1.540, requesting that the original order be vacated and a new order

entered, such that the right to seek appellate review may be preserved.”).
