1Opinion of the Court
ROYIRA, Justice.
The court of appeals dismissed petitioner Park Joumee Estep’s appeal because the notice of appeal was not filed within the time prescribed by C.A.R. 4(b). Based on the unique facts of this case, we find that the court of appeals erred in denying Es-tep’s motion to vacate the order of dismissal. We therefore reverse the order of dismissal and remand the case to the court of appeals with instructions to accept Es-tep’s notice of appeal as timely filed.
