Dodson v. Security Officers & Investigations CA1/5
On July 8, 2019, the trial court issued an order granting plaintiff Bertha Dodson’s motion for attorneys’ fees and costs and denying defendant Security Officers & Investigations, LLC’s (SOI) motion for attorneys’ fees and costs (order). On July 11, 2019, plaintiff filed and served a notice of entry of the order. On September 3, 2019, SOI served Dodson with a notice of appeal from the order, but the notice of appeal was not filed in the superior court until September 13, 2019, 64 days after the notice of entry of the order was served. We lack jurisdiction over this appeal because the notice of appeal was not timely filed. Accordingly, we must dismiss the appeal.
The time limits for filing a notice of appeal are jurisdictional, and an untimely appeal must be dismissed. (Hollister Convalescent Hospital, Inc. v. Rico (1975) 15 Cal.3d 660, 666–667.)
