State v. Byers
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 19, 1989 · Altenbernd, Lehan, Ryder
545 So. 2d 931; 14 Fla. L. Weekly 1236; 1989 Fla. App. LEXIS 2837; 1989 WL 52608 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State v. Byers

Opinion of the Court

ON MOTIONS TO DISMISS

PER CURIAM.

In these eight appeals, which the court has consolidated on its own motion, the state challenges the trial court’s downward departure from the sentencing guidelines. Because the notices of appeal were filed more than fifteen days after the judgments and sentences were rendered, we dismiss the appeals as untimely filed. See State v. Hieber, 541 So.2d 1208 (Fla. 2d DCA 1988); State v. Ealy, 533 So.2d 1173 (Fla. 2d DCA 1988). As in Hieber and Ealy, we acknowl*932edge that our decision is in conflict with State v. Williams, 463 So.2d 525 (Fla. 3d DCA 1985).

RYDER, A.C.J., and LEHAN and ALTENBERND, JJ., concur.
