1Opinion of the Court

BRYAN, Judge.

Lorenza Bedgood (“Lorenza”), acting pro se, appeals from a judgment ordering a sale of property for a division of the proceeds. Because Lorenza did not timely file his notice of appeal, we dismiss the appeal.

“The timely filing of a notice of appeal is a jurisdictional act. Kennedy v. Merriman, 963 So.2d 86, 88 (Ala.Civ.App.2007) (quoting Rudd v. Rudd, 467 So.2d 964, 965 (Ala.Civ.App.1985)). ‘[A]n untimely filed notice of appeal results in a lack of appellate jurisdiction, which cannot be waived.’ Parker v. Parker, 946 So.2d 480, 485 (Ala.Civ.App.2006).”
