The legislature has recognized our authority to adopt appellate deadlines, as well as their jurisdictional nature: 59.081 Time for invoking appellate jurisdiction of any court.— (1) The time within which and the method by which the jurisdiction of any court in this state possessed of power to review the action of any other court, commission, officer or bureau ma...

(2) Failure to invoke the jurisdiction of any such court within the time prescribed by such rules shall divest such court of jurisdiction to review such cause. § 59.081, Fla. Stat.

Ocean View of Miami, Ltd., 707 So.2d 917, 920 (Fla. 3d DCA 1998) (recognizing that the Legislature's mandate in section 59.081, Florida Statutes, elevates the time limit for seeking appellate review stated in rule 9.120(b) from procedural to substantive law); see also Salinger v....

The majority also justifies reinstating this case because the imposition of victim injury points in the decision below was a miscarriage of justice. Majority op. at 500, 503. But neither section 59.081(2) nor rule 9.120 contains a "miscarriage of justice" exception....

...rth in this dissent, such proceedings do not implicate the same due process concerns.

...2D05-5613) Charter Oak argues on its cross-appeal that the trial court erred in using rule 1.540(b) as a vehicle to circumvent the jurisdictional requirement that a notice of appeal be timely filed.

...Less than 30 days later, on August 14, 1979, the appellant filed her notice of appeal with the clerk of the trial court.

...We have subsequently verified that the agency clerk's office was open for business on that day. Article V, section 2(a) of the Florida Constitution provides that the supreme court shall have exclusive authority to set the time limits for invoking appellate jurisdiction.

...Because the filing deadline set forth in Rule 9.100(c) is jurisdictional, and Petitioner did not meet the deadline, this Court lacks jurisdiction. See Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Fla. v. Lewis, 122 So. 3d 504, 505 (Fla. 3d DCA 2013); see also § 59.081(2), Fla....

...The trial court’s order was rendered on July 10, 2017. Pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.100(c)(1), a petition for certiorari “shall be filed within thirty days of rendition of the order to be reviewed.” The thirty day time period is jurisdictional. Under section 59.081(2), Florida Statutes (2017), the failure to timely invoke the jurisdiction of a reviewing court “shall divest such court of jurisdiction to review such cause.” See Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Fla....

...Home’s participation in the circuit court proceeding, however, the petitioners moved to amend their petition to add U.S. Home as a respondent. U.S. Home and Lee County objected, arguing that such an amendment was untimely. The circuit court agreed finding that an amended petition would be “contrary to the provisions of section 59.081, Florida Statutes (2003), which mandates that the failure to invoke the jurisdiction as specified in the rules adopted by the supreme court shall divest the court of jurisdiction to review such cause.” In this second-tier certiorari...
