JOHN JAY LACEY,

    Petitioner,

    v.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

    Respondent.
                  _____________________________


Petition for Belated Appeal—Original Jurisdiction.


                        August 29, 2019


PER CURIAM.

     Because Petitioner filed his amended petition for a belated,
direct appeal more than four years after his 2014 conviction and
sentence became final, the amended petition is hereby dismissed
as untimely. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.141(c)(5) (“In no case shall a
petition for belated appeal be filed more than 4 years after the
expiration of time for filing the notice of appeal.”).

    DISMISSED.

ROBERTS, WINOKUR, and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur.
                 _____________________________

    Not final until disposition of any timely and
    authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
    9.331.
               _____________________________


John Jay Lacey, pro se, Petitioner.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.
