No. 77-2039

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from an order granting appellee’s motion to dismiss for lack of prosecution. The order did not indicate that it was “with prejudice” and as such it constitutes a nonfinal order, appeal-able as an interlocutory appeal pursuant to Fla.R.App.P. (1962) 4.2(a). Reilly v. Fuss, 170 So. 2d 475 (Fla. 2d DCA 1964); ef., Southwest Electric Supply v. Banfield, 302 So. 2d 810 (Fla. 2d DCA 1974). A motion for rehearing (he>*e a motion for reconsideration) directed to an interlocutory order will not suspend rendition of that order, and thus, has no effect on the time for filing a notice of appeal. Wagner v. Wagner, 268 So. 2d 1 (Fla.1972); Southwest Electric Supply, supra.

The order sought to be reviewed herein was rendered on July 28, 1977. The notice of appeal was filed fifty-seven days later. Appellant has therefore failed to invoke this Court’s jurisdiction and this appeal is dismissed sua sponte.

MOORE and BERANEK, JJ., and FRANZA, ARTHUR, J., Associate Judge, concur.
