                  _____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Columbia County. Leandra G. Johnson, Judge.
                           June 3, 2021

PER CURIAM.
     Because March has 31 days, the notice of appeal filed April 8, 2021, seeking review of a final judgment rendered March 8, 2021, is one day late. Therefore, this Court is constrained to dismiss this appeal.
     This dismissal is without prejudice to the Appellant’s right to seek a belated appeal in the trial court. See In re B.H., 

 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005).

MAKAR, M.K. THOMAS, and NORDBY, JJ., concur.
                _____________________________

    Not final until disposition of any timely and
    authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
    9.331.
