QUILLIAN, Presiding Judge.

While the appeal to the full board was received in the Capitol Hill Post Office on September 19, 1977, it was not delivered to the State Board of Workmen's Compensation and marked filed until the next day, September 20, 1977. September 20, 1977 being more than 30 days from August 19, 1977, the date of the notice of award of the administrative law judge, the board was correct in denying the application for review.
