Key Quotes

“Generally, the test employed by the appellate court to determine finality of an order, judgment or decree is whether the order in question constitutes an end to the judicial labor in the cause, and nothing further remains to be done by the court to effectuate a termination of the cause as between the parties directly affected. The title of the order, judgment or decree is not controlling.”

PER CURIAM.

2

Appellant Adolfo A. Corripio (Defendant below) appeals from an order entering summary judgment in favor of Appellee Commodore Plaza Condominium Association (Plaintiff below). Though the order is titled “Summary Final Judgment for Plaintiff[,]” it does not fully adjudicate Counts II, III, and V of Commodore’s Complaint. See Salgado v. Suyapa-Jimenez, 254 So. 3d 1053, 1055 n.4 (Fla. 3d DCA 2018) (“Generally, the test employed by the appellate court to determine finality of an order, judgment or decree is whether the order in question constitutes an end to the judicial labor in the cause, and nothing further remains to be done by the court to effectuate a termination of the cause as between the parties directly affected. The title of the order, judgment or decree is not controlling.” (citations and internal quotations marks omitted)). We therefore dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Camargo v. Prime W., Inc., 225 So. 3d 912, 913 (Fla. 3d DCA 2017) (“We dismiss the Camargos’ appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the partial summary judgment granted in favor of Prime West is a nonfinal, nonappealable order.”). Dismissed.
