PER CURIAM.
In 2009, an in rem complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of Faulkner County seeking forfeiture by petitioner Darnell Porter of certain property that had been seized as the proceeds of illegal activity. On October 20, 2009, the court granted the State's motion for default judgment. No appeal was taken by petitioner, and he now seeks leave to proceed with a belated appeal.
Forfeiture matters arising from criminal cases are considered in rem civil actions. State v. One 1993 Toyota Camry, 333 Ark. 503, 969 S.W.2d 663 (1998). Our rules of civil procedure do not provide for a belated appeal in civil cases. See Ark. R. App. P.-Civ. 4 (2009); Douglas v. State, 2009 Ark. 427 (per curiam) (citing Butcher v. State, 345 Ark. 222, 45 S.W.3d 378 (2001) (per curiam)). Accordingly, petitioner is not entitled to pursue a belated appeal from the order entered in this civil forfeiture matter.
Motion denied.
