Upon consideration of the appellant’s response to the Court’s order of January 24, 2005, the Court has determined that the appellant’s untimely motion for rehearing did not delay rendition of the underlying final judgment. See Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.530(b); Fla. R.App. P. 9.020(h). Thus, the notice of appeal was insufficient to timely invoke the Court’s jurisdiction. Accordingly, the appeal is hereby dismissed as untimely.
