Appellant was tried before a jury and found guilty of voluntary manslaughter. On July 20, 1990, the trial court entered its judgment of conviction and sentence on the jury’s guilty verdict. Within 30 days thereafter, neither a motion for new trial nor a notice of appeal was filed. On May 14, 1991, however, the trial court entered an order which purported to extend the time for appellant to file a notice of appeal until June 15, 1991. On June 21, 1991, a similar order was entered, purporting to extend the time for appellant to file a notice of appeal until July 15, 1991. The instant case is before us pursuant to a notice of appeal which was filed by appellant on July 15, 1991.
