Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The petitioner seeks review of an order dismissing her complaint and cause in the lower court by certiorari proceedings.1

It is apparent that the order, review of which is sought by petitioner, is final in nature. See: Howard Johnson, Inc. of Florida v. State Road Department of Florida, Fla.1956, 90 So.2d 306; Womack v. Goldberg, Fla.App.1960, 117 So.2d 758. Therefore, there being an adequate remedy by appeal [See: Wieczorek v. Williams, Fla.1954, 71 So.2d 262; Burdine’s, Inc. v. Drennon, Fla.1957, 97 So.2d 259; Hastings v. Osius, Fla.1958, 104 So.2d 21] the petition for certiorari is dismissed.

Dismissed.
