JESSIE DAY, APPELLANT,
v.
FLORIDA INSURANCE GUARANTY ASSOCIATION, JOEL T. SMITH, AND BETTY MAE SMITH, APPELLEES

Fla. 2d DCA | 1978-05-12
No. 77-1431
GRIMES, Acting C. J., and RYDER and DANAHY, JJ., concur.
358 So. 2d 602 Florida District Court of Appeal, Second District (1978) Positive Treatment
Cited by 7 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Plaintiff Day seeks to appeal an order which states “the Defendant, Florida Insurance Guaranty Association’s Motion for Final Summary Judgment be and the same is hereby granted.” This is not a final decision, order, judgment or decree within the contemplation of Fla.R.App.P. 3.2(b). Likewise, this case is not one which formerly would have been cognizable in equity so the order is not subject to an interlocutory appeal. Fla.R.App.P. 4.2(a).

Therefore, we have no jurisdiction, and this appeal is hereby dismissed sua sponte. Rizzuto v. DiPaolo, 357 So. 2d 490 (Fla. 2d DCA, opinion filed Apr. 19, 1978); Arnold v. Brady, 178 So. 2d 732 (Fla. 2d DCA 1965).

GRIMES, Acting C. J., and RYDER and DANAHY, JJ., concur.
