Listen to this article

“When a notice of appeal is not signed by an attorney when an attorney is required, the notice of appeal is fundamentally defective and cannot confer jurisdiction on this court. … A person not admitted to practice law has no authority to sign a pleading on behalf of another to invoke this court’s jurisdiction. … A fundamentally defective notice of appeal cannot be cured by the filing of an amended notice of appeal which is not otherwise timely vis-à-vis the order or judgment appealed from.”

Appeal dismissed.
