Florida appellate court dismissed appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the trial court's order dismissing the complaint did not address forum non conveniens or venue issues, making it a non-final, non-appealable order.
An order dismissing a complaint without addressing forum non conveniens or venue enforceability is not an appealable order.
[1] An order dismissing a complaint is not appealable as a final order when it does not address forum non conveniens, forum selection clauses, or venue issues.

*342Rafael Antonio Amezcua appeals the Order on Motion to Strike and Motion to Dismiss Third Amended Complaint with Prejudice by Olvera Defendants entered February 16, 2018 reconsidering the prior Order Re: Olvera Defendants' Motion to Dismiss Second Amended Complaint entered October 17, 2017. We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
On appeal, Amezcua contends the trial court erred by not dismissing this action on the basis of forum non conveniens and requests that we remand with directions to the trial court to dismiss in favor of a Mexican forum. However, the order denying the defendants' motion to dismiss the Third Amended Complaint is not an appealable non-final order because it does not address the enforceability of any forum clause, the issue of forum non-conveniens or any other issue with respect to venue.1 The prior order on the Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint, likewise, did not address the issue of forum non conveniens.2
Dismissed.
