MEMORANDUM OPINION 18 VANZI, Judge.
Defendant seeks to appeal from a judgment restoring possession of certain real
property to Plaintiffs. We issued a notice of proposed summary disposition, proposing to dismiss on grounds that notice of appeal was not filed in a timely fashion. Defendant has filed a memorandum in opposition, which we have duly considered. Because we remain unpersuaded, we dismiss the appeal.
As we previously observed in the notice of proposed summary disposition, the timely filing of notice of appeal with the district court is a mandatory precondition to the exercise of jurisdiction and, consequently, we do not ordinarily entertain an appeal in the absence of duly filed notice. See Garcia v. State, 2010-NMSC-023,
