Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the trial court’s order denying appellants’ motion to dismiss the amended counterclaim. See Manrique v. Fabbri, 493 So. 2d 437 (Fla.1986). However, we dismiss the portion of the non-final appeal addressing the issues of res judicata and collateral estoppel. Those issues can be presented on direct appeal from a final judgment. South Broward Hosp. Dist. v. Dupont, 683 So. 2d 1135 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996).

GLICKSTEIN, DELL and SHAHOOD, JJ., concur.
