COLLEEN MARY O’TOOLE, J.

        {¶1}    On December 8, 2016, appellant, pro se, filed a notice of appeal from the

trial court’s November 7, 2016 “Amended Entry on Sentence.” Appellant’s notice of

appeal was due to be filed no later than December 7, 2016, which was not a holiday or

a weekend. Thus, the appeal was untimely filed by one day.

        {¶2}    App.R. 4(A)(1) states in relevant part:

        {¶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. * *

*.”
        {¶4}     App.R. 5(A) states:

        {¶5}     “(1) After the expiration of the thirty day period provided by App.R. 4(A) for

the filing of a notice of appeal as of right, an appeal may be taken by a defendant with

leave of the court to which the appeal is taken in the following classes of cases:

        {¶6}     “(a) Criminal proceedings;

        {¶7}     “(b) Delinquency proceedings; and

        {¶8}     “(c) Serious youthful offender proceedings.

        {¶9}     “(2) A motion for leave to appeal shall be filed with the court of appeals

and shall set forth the reasons for the failure of the appellant to perfect an appeal as of

right. * * *.”

        {¶10} In the present case, appellant has neither complied with the thirty-day rule

set forth in App.R. 4(A)(1) nor sought leave to appeal under App.R. 5(A). Appellant has

a remedy under App.R. 5(A) for filing an untimely criminal appeal.

        {¶11} Because this court is without jurisdiction, the appeal is hereby sua sponte

dismissed as being untimely.
