1Opinion of the Court
GRIFFIS, J., for the Court.
¶ 1. Jimmy Ray Turner filed a claim that alleged his attorney, James B. Everett, committed legal malpractice when Everett represented Turner in a murder trial. After numerous pro se motions were filed by Turner, a special judge dismissed Turner’s suit for the failure to effectuate service of process within 120 days after filing the complaint. Turner now appeals. We find that Turner failed to file a proper notice of appeal from a final judgment. Thus, this Court lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal. Accordingly, Turner’s appeal is dismissed.
