This is an appeal from a judgment based on a jury verdict in favor of appellees in an action involving alleged slander and negligence. Appellant's only enumeration of error charges that the jury verdict and subsequent judgments are not supported by the evidence.

1. The judgment in favor of appellees was filed with the clerk of the trial court on December 10, 1981. No motions for new trial, in arrest of judgment, or judgment n.o.v. were filed. The notice of appeal was filed on January 27, 1982. Although appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file his notice of appeal, that motion was not timely since the time for filing the notice of appeal had already passed when the motion was filed. Code Ann. 6-804. Consequently, the notice of appeal was not timely filed and the appeal must be dismissed. Code Ann. 6-803; Venable v. Block, 141 Ga. App. 523 (233 SE2d 878).
