    Paul A. HAMMONS, Petitioner, v. STATE of Florida, Respondent.
    No. 2D14-2729.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
    Feb. 27, 2015.
    Christopher E. Cosden of The Wilbur Smith Law Firm, Fort Myers, for Petitioner.
    Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Wendy Buffington, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Respondent.
   MORRIS, Judge.

Paul Hammons seeks second-tier certio-rari review of a circuit court order reversing a county court order granting him a new trial for the charge of driving under the influence (third offense). The petition for writ of certiorari is untimely, and we do not have the authority to grant belated review of the circuit court order. See Russell v. State, 114 So.3d 483, 484-85 (Fla. 2d DCA 2013).

We note that even if the petition had been timely filed, it is without merit. After a jury found Hammons guilty, the county court granted Hammons’ motion for new trial based on the prosecutor’s comment that Hammons “voluntarily gave up his driver’s license for either one year or 18 months” by refusing to submit to a breath test. The circuit court did not apply the incorrect law in reversing the county court’s order because the challenged statement did not prejudice Hammons. The statement did not suggest that Ham-mons had a prior breath test refusal; rather, the statement was a proper reference to the arresting officer’s testimony regarding the standard warning he gave to Ham-mons on the implied consent for a breath test. See § 316.1932(l)(a)(l)(a), Fla. Stat. (2011).

Dismissed as untimely.
