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.").
ROBERTS, KELSEY, and WINOKUR, JJ., concur.
