J. Scott Duncan, Judge.

James W. Crawford, Pensacola, for Appellant.

Kelley Schaeffer, Guardian ad Litem Program, Sanford; Dwight O. Slater,

PER CURIAM.

      Upon consideration of the appellant's response to the Court's order of

September 28, 2015, the Court has determined that the appellant has failed to

demonstrate that the appeal was timely filed. See St. Moritz Hotel v. Daughtry, 

(Fla. 1971); Churchville v. Ocean Grove R.V. Sales, Inc., 

, 651 (Fla. 1st DCA 2004) (“An amendment or modification of an order or

judgment in an immaterial, insubstantial way does not restart the clock to file an

appeal”). Accordingly, the appeal is hereby dismissed. Any remedy the appellant

may have lies with the lower tribunal. See In the Interest of E.H., 

(Fla. 1992).

BENTON, ROWE, and OSTERHAUS, JJ., CONCUR.
