                MEMORANDUM DECISION - NOT FOR PUBLICATION


NAJAM, Judge
                                STATEMENT OF THE CASE

       Sophia L. Masters (“Mother”) appeals the trial court’s grant of Ryan E. Masters’

(“Father”) petition for a temporary order restraining Mother from removing the parties’

children out of the state. But we do not reach the merits of the issues Mother raises on

appeal because we lack jurisdiction. We dismiss.

                         FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY

       Mother and Father are divorced and have two minor children together. After the

divorce, the children lived with Mother, and Father exercised liberal parenting time. In

early 2014, Mother applied for an active duty position in the United States Army Guard

Reserve (“AGR program”), was accepted into the program, and was stationed in North

Carolina. Accordingly, Mother filed a notice of intent to relocate with the trial court.

Father objected and moved the trial court for an order restraining Mother’s relocation

with the children. Following a hearing, the trial court ordered that Mother “is restrained

from removing the children . . . out of state without prior approval of the Court.”1

Appellant’s App. at 8. This interlocutory appeal ensued.

                               DISCUSSION AND DECISION

       In her notice of appeal, Mother alleged that this court’s jurisdiction is based on

Appellate Rule 14(B)(3). But Mother sought neither certification of this discretionary

interlocutory appeal from the trial court nor acceptance of the appeal from this court.

Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction under Appellate Rule 14(B)(3) to hear this appeal. See

Daimler Chrysler Corp. v. Yaeger, 838 N.E.2d 449, 449-50 (Ind. 2005).

       1
          Father has since filed a motion for modification of parenting time, custody and support, and,
according to Father, a final hearing was held on September 8, 2014.

                                                  2
       Further, we note that the appellate docket includes an entry by the Clerk of this

court stating that Mother claimed jurisdiction under Indiana Appellate Rule 14(A)(5).

And, in Mother’s brief, she asserts that this is an interlocutory appeal based on Appellate

Rule 14(A)(5) and results from the entry of a temporary restraining order. Appellant’s

Br. at 11. These statements conflict with Mother’s notice of appeal and amended notice

of appeal, both of which allege jurisdiction under Rule 14(B)(3).         Regardless, our

supreme court has held that a temporary restraining order is not appealable as of right

under Rule 14(A)(5). See Witt v. Jay Petroleum, Inc., 964 N.E.2d 198, 203 (Ind. 2012).

       Dismissed.

MATHIAS, J., and BRADFORD, J., concur.
