TRAYLOR, J.

We granted a writ of certiorari to determine whether the court of appeal correctly reviewed the trial court's ruling in a proceeding to terminate parental rights. We conclude that the court of appeal erred in considering the merits in this case, which was not appealed timely. Accordingly, we vacate the judgment of the court of appeal and reinstate the trial court judgment, which has become res judicata for failure to timely appeal.
