ON DENIAL OF PETITION FOR REHEARING
PER CURIAM.
In a petition for rehearing, the Platts have urged that a judgment which contains a blank for insertion of costs should not be considered a final judgment for purposes of activating the time for appeal. However, as noted in our principal opinion, I.A.R. 14(a) provides to the contrary. Furthermore, I.R.C.P. 58(a) provides that the “entry of the judgment shall not be delayed for the taxing of costs.” See also St. John v. O’Reilly, 80 Idaho 429, 333 P.2d 467 (1958), and Cantwell v. McPherson, 3 Idaho 321, 29 P. 102 (1892).
Our Supreme Court has plenary authority under Art. 5, § 9, of the Idaho Constitution to “review upon appeal, any decision of the district courts.” However, we view our appellate jurisdiction as being limited to those cases in which appeals have been timely filed under rules promulgated by the Supreme Court. We again conclude that we lack jurisdiction to consider the Platts’ appeal insofar as it relates to the judgment filed June 19,1980. The petition for rehearing is denied.
