IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF OHIO ELEVENTH APPELLATE DISTRICT TRUMBULL COUNTY STATE OF OHIO, CASE NO. 2025-T-0036 Plaintiff-Appellee, Criminal Appeal from the - vs - Court of Common Pleas LARRY BUMBICO, Trial Court No. 2024 CR 00419 Defendant-Appellant.
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT ENTRY Decided: August 18, 2025 Judgment: Appeal dismissed
Dennis Watkins, Trumbull County Prosecutor, Administration Building, Fourth Floor, 160 High Street, N.W., Warren, OH 44481 (For Plaintiff-Appellee).
Larry Bumbico, pro se, PID# A822-576, Correctional Reception Center, 11271 State Route 762, Orient, OH 43146 (Defendant-Appellant).
SCOTT LYNCH, J.
{¶1} On May 28, 2025, appellant, Larry Bumbico, filed a pro se notice of appeal from the trial court’s April 24, 2025 sentencing entry. A timely notice was due no later than May 27, 2025, which was not a holiday or weekend. The appeal is untimely by one day.
{¶2} “[A] party who wishes to appeal from an order that is final upon its entry shall file the notice of appeal required by App.R. 3 within 30 days of that entry.” App.R. 4(A)(1).
{¶3} App.R. 5(A)(1) states: {¶4} “After the expiration of the thirty day period provided by App.R. 4(A) for the filing of a notice of appeal as of right, an appeal may be taken by a defendant with leave of the court to which the appeal is taken in the following classes of cases: {¶5} “(a) Criminal proceedings . . .”
{¶6} App.R. 5(A)(2) further provides that “[a] motion for leave to appeal shall be filed with the court of appeals and shall set forth the reasons for the failure of the appellant to perfect an appeal as of right.”
{¶7} Appellant has neither complied with the thirty-day rule set forth in App.R. 4(A)(1) nor sought leave to appeal under App.R. 5(A). Thus, this court is without jurisdiction to consider the appeal. Appellant has a remedy of filing an untimely criminal appeal under App.R. 5(A).
{¶8} Accordingly, this appeal is hereby dismissed, sua sponte, as untimely.
JOHN J. EKLUND, J., EUGENE A. LUCCI, J., concur.
