CURIAM. We sua sponte dismiss the appeal of John W. Childs (Childs) as untimely filed. The trial court denied Childs’ Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850 motion on January 18, 1994. Childs then filed a pleading styled “answer to state’s response to defendant’s motion for postconviction relief’ on February 9,1994. The trial court treated this pleading as a motion for reconsideration, and denied it on April 15, 1994. The fact however that Childs filed a notice of appeal on May 3, 1994, is irrelevant, because, having filed an untimely “motion for rehearing,” see Fla. R.Crim.P. 3.850(g), Childs was required to file his appeal within thirty days of the January 1994 order to preserve the jurisdiction of this court. Cf. Griffis v. State, 593 So.2d 308 (Fla. 1st DCA 1992) (<HOLDING>). Childs’ appeal accordingly is dismissed. It
holding that an unauthorized motion for rehearing does not toll defendants time for filing a notice of appeal holding a motion for rehearing from an appealable nonfinal order is not authorized and thus does not toll the time for filing an appeal holding filing of motion for reconsideration does not toll the 30day deadline for filing petition for review holding that an untimely postjudgment motion does not toll the time for filing a notice of appeal and that this court has no jurisdiction over an untimely filed appeal holding that the filing of an opening brief within the time period for filing a notice of appeal could constitute notice of appeal
