MEMORANDUM OPINION
(footnote: 1)

------------

Twyna Lynn Shields, a/k/a Twyna Lynn McGinnis, a/k/a Twyna Collins McGinnis is attempting to appeal her conviction and sentence for possession of a controlled substance.  Appellant’s sentence was imposed on July 28, 2005, and no motion for new trial was filed.  Therefore, appellant’s notice of appeal was due August 29, 2005;
(footnote: 2) however, the notice of appeal was not filed until October 31, 2005.

Because appellant’s notice of appeal was not timely filed, we lack jurisdiction over the appeal.
(footnote: 3)  Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
