Before WELLS, C.J., and SHEPHERD and ROTHENBERG, JJ.

ROTHENBERG, J.

Bryan Charles Gener ("Gener") appeals the trial court's order denying as untimely his "Motion For New Trials" in case numbers 05–9595 and 07–20311. As the trial court correctly noted, a motion for a new trial in a non-death penalty case must be made within ten days after rendition of the verdict or a finding by the court. See State v. Snyder, 453 So.2d 546, 546–47 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984). Because Gener filed his motion more than ten days after rendition of the verdict or a finding by the court, and because the ten-day limit is jurisdictional, we affirm the order on appeal.

Affirmed.
