The Florida Supreme Court denied a petition for a writ of certiorari, finding no jurisdictional conflict between the appellate court's decision to dismiss an appeal due to the non-appealability of a voluntary non-suit order and prior conflicting decisions.
No, an order permitting a voluntary non-suit is not an appealable order. The appellate court's dismissal of the appeal was proper, and no jurisdictional conflict exists with prior decisions.

By petition for a writ of certiorari we are requested to review a decision of the Court of Appeal, Second District, because of an alleged conflict with Dobson v. Crews, 164 So.2d 252, a decision of the Court of *684Appeal, First District. See, Florida East Coast Railroad Co. v. Jones, Fla.App., 166 So.2d 842.
The District Court here dismissed the Appeal because of the non-appealability of an order permitting a voluntary non-suit. We have distinguished Dobson by our opinion in a similar case. See, Bennett v. Fratus, Fla., 177 So.2d 334 opinion filed the 21st day of July, 1965. We have generally disposed of the non-suit problem by our decision in Crews v. Dobson, Fla., 177 So.2d 202 opinion filed July 7, 1965.
We find no jurisdictional conflict between the instant decision and the decisions in the cited cases.
The writ is, therefore denied.
THORNAL, C. J., and THOMAS, ROBERTS, DREW and O’CONNELL, JJ., concur.
