NELL F. HOWARD, APPELLEE

Fla. 2d DCA | 1978-09-27
No. 78-502
GRIMES, C. J., and RYDER and DAN-AHY, JJ., concur.
362 So. 2d 725 Florida District Court of Appeal, Second District (1978) Positive Treatment
Cited by 26 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Petitioner/appellant seeks to appeal an order which reads “that [respondent’s] motion to dismiss be and the same is hereby granted.” This is not a final order within the contemplation of Fla.R.App. P. 9.030(b)(1)(A). Likewise, this is not a non-final order which may be reviewed by an interlocutory appeal. Fla.R.App. P. 9.130(a)(3). Since we have no jurisdiction, the appeal, sua sponte, is dismissed. Arnold v. Brady, 178 So. 2d 732 (Fla.2d DCA 1965); Renard v. Kirkeby Hotels, 99 So. 2d 719 (Fla.3d DCA 1958).

GRIMES, C. J., and RYDER and DAN-AHY, JJ., concur.
