                                                 Trial Court No. 2022 C 000253

                                          OPINION

                                    Decided: February 20, 2024
                                    Judgment: Appeal dismissed

James R. Flaiz, Geauga County Prosecutor, Courthouse Annex, 231 Main Street, Suite
3A, Chardon, OH 44024 (For Plaintiff-Appellee).

George J. Gaspare, pro se, PID# A810-053, Lake Erie Correctional Institution, 501
Thompson Road, P.O. Box 8000, Conneaut, OH 44030 (Defendant-Appellant).

MATT LYNCH, J.

        {¶1}     On January 19, 2024, appellant, George J. Gaspare, pro se, appealed the

trial court’s December 19, 2023 sentencing entry. A timely notice was due January 18,

2024, which was not a holiday or weekend.

        {¶2}     Thus, the appeal is untimely filed by one day. In addition, there is already

a timely appeal from the December 19, 2023 entry presently before this court in 11th Dist.

Geauga No. 2024-G-0004, which would make this a duplicate appeal.
       {¶3}   “* * * [A] party who wishes to appeal from an order that is final upon its entry

shall file the notice of appeal required by App.R. 3 within 30 days of that entry.” App.R.

4(A)(1).

       {¶4}   This appeal is dismissed, sua sponte, as untimely and as a duplicate

appeal.
