        "text": "James R. Cooper, Judge.\nThe appellant in this civil case sought an appeal from an order of the Faulkner County Circuit Court entered December 20, 1993. The appellant filed a motion for a new trial on December 22, 1993. No ruling was ever made on the new trial motion. The appellant filed a notice of appeal on January 20, 1994, from the circuit court\u2019s order of December 20, 1993. We are constrained to dismiss this appeal because the notice of appeal was untimely.\nA notice of appeal filed prior to the disposition of a motion for a new trial is without effect under Ark. R. App. R 4(c). The Rule provides that, when such a post-trial motion has been filed, a new notice of appeal must be filed within the prescribed time from the entry of the order dealing with the post-trial motion or from the expiration of the thirty days allowed in the absence of a ruling. Lawrence Brothers, Inc. v. R.J. \u201cBob\u201d Jones Excavating Contractor, Inc., 318 Ark. 328, 884 S.W.2d 620 (1994). Because the appellant\u2019s notice of appeal was filed before the expiration of the thirty-day period, it was without effect under Rule 4(c) and we must dismiss the appeal.\nAppeal dismissed.\nPittman and Robbins, JJ., agree.",
