    Kenneth J. MOUNT, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 1D01-2450.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Aug. 27, 2001.
    Rehearing Denied Oct. 17, 2001.
    Appellant, pro se.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Having considered the appellant’s response to the Court’s order of July 16, 2001, the Court has determined that it does not have jurisdiction. Because the appellant’s motion for rehearing was not authorized, rendition of the underlying order was not delayed. See Griffis v. State, 593 So.2d 308 (Fla. 1st DCA 1992). Consequently, the notice of appeal was not timely filed. The appeal is hereby dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
