Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

An order dismissing a complaint with leave to amend is a non-final order. As such, it is not appealable prior to final dismissal. Hancock v. Piper, 186 So. 2d 489 (Fla.1966); Petnuch v. Smith, 395 So. 2d 294 (Fla. 5th DCA 1981). Accordingly, this appeal is sua sponte

DISMISSED.

DAUKSCH, C. J., and COBB and SHARP, JJ., concur.

An order of dismissal with leave to amend is not appealable because it is a nonfinal order. Bishop v. Kelly, 404 So. 2d 1149 (Fla. 5th DCA 1981). If the order dismissing counts two and three with leave to amend is a nonfinal order, these counts necessarily remain pending. Although the court in Blacker v.
