Christopher Dewayne Jones, Appellant, v. State of Florida, Appellee.

Rachael E. Reese of O'Brien Hatfield Reese, P.A., Tampa, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331.

Rachael E. Reese of O'Brien Hatfield Reese, P.A., Tampa, for Appellant.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

The Court dismisses this appeal for lack of jurisdiction, as no signed written order was rendered below. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.020(h) ("An order is rendered when a signed, written order is filed with the clerk of the lower tribunal."); Owens v. State, 579 So.2d 311, 312 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991) ("Without a signed written order the threshold requirement for an appeal cannot be met because without the written signed order there is nothing to appeal."); Thomas Home Corp. v. Emerald Coast Utils. Auth., 315 So.3d 793 (Fla. 1st DCA 2021) ("A transcript cannot substitute as a written order.").
