Gwin, P.J.

        {¶1}     Leisha Sherrell-Sims appeals a judgment of the Court of Common Pleas

of Stark County, Ohio, which found money seized by the North Canton police was the

property of Johnny V. Brack, and ordered the money sent to the clerk of court to apply

to amounts Brack owed on prior cases. Appellant shared a home with Brack. Brack was

arrested on drug charges but acquitted; appellant was never charged with a crime.

        {¶2}     The court journalized its judgment on December 7, 2010. On January 27,

2011, the court issued a nunc pro tunc entry to correct a scrivener’s error. On February

10, 2011, appellant filed her notice of appeal.

        {¶3}     App. R. 4 (A) provides a notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days from

the entry of the judgment being appealed. The time requirement is jurisdictional, and

this court has no jurisdiction to review an untimely appeal. Rundle v. Rundle (1997),

123 Ohio App. 3d 304, 305, 704 N.E. 2d 56, citations deleted.

        {¶4}     A nunc pro tunc order speaks as of the date of the original judgment, and

does not extend the 30-day filing period for an appeal.                Gold Touch, Inc. v. TJS Lab,

Inc. (1998), 130 Ohio App. 3d 106, 719 N.E. 2d 629.
Stark County, Case No. 2011-CA-00036                                                3

      {¶5}   We find we lack jurisdiction to review this judgment, and accordingly the

appeal is dismissed.
