STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLANT,
v.
MARK KEVIN SIEGEL AND JOHN A. MCGLADE, APPELLEES

Fla. 5th DCA | 1995-11-16
No. 95-516
GOSHORN and HARRIS, JJ., concur.
662 So. 2d 1013 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fifth District (1995) Caution
Cited by 12 cases


Opinion of the Court
GRIFFIN, Judge.

GRIFFIN, Judge.

The state has attempted to appeal an order of the lower court which granted defendants’ motions to suppress evidence. Ordinarily this court would have jurisdiction to review such a non-final order under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.030(b)(1)(B) and 9.140(c)(1)(B). The record on appeal, however, does not contain a signed, written order of the trial court, and the state’s response to this court’s show cause order confirms that none was ever entered.

This court lacks jurisdiction to hear an appeal of an unwritten or unsigned order. See Fla.R.App.P. 9.020(g), 9.140(c)(2); State v. Smith, 557 So. 2d 904 (Fla. 1st DCA 1990). The state’s request for us to temporarily relinquish jurisdiction in order for it to obtain a properly rendered order must be denied. Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.110(m), permits an appeal to proceed where an appealable order is rendered prior to dismissal of a premature appeal; however, this rule is, by its terms, only applicable to final orders. Fla.R.App.P. 9.110(a), (m). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

GOSHORN and HARRIS, JJ., concur.

    …of a written order by the trial court in non-final criminal appeals, it will no longer do so. Aside from the fact that the Fifth District Court of Appeal has held that appellate courts have no discretion in dismissing such appeals, State v. Siegel, 662 So. 2d 1013 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995), this court has also found that doing so frequently causes considerable unnecessary delay in appeals. The circuit court’s reliance upon Siegel is misplaced. In Siegel, like the present case, the state attempted to appeal a nonfi…
