Date published: Aug 3, 1988

528 So. 2d 1000 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1988)

Opinion

No. 88-0070.

August 3, 1988.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Broward County; Patricia W. Cocalis, Judge.

John C. Rayson of Sherman Rayson, Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.

Nancy Little Hoffmann of Nancy Little Hoffmann, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, and Stephen M. Bell, P.A., Plantation, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

We dismiss appellant's untimely appeal from the trial court's order rendered on November 5, 1987. The trial court's retention of jurisdiction to award attorney's fees and costs did not affect the finality of the order. See General Accident Fire Life Assurance Corporation, Ltd. v. Kellin, 391 So.2d 305 (Fla. 4th DCA 1980), and Morand v. Stoneburner, 516 So.2d 270 (Fla. 5th DCA 1987), review denied, 525 So.2d 879 (Fla. 1988).

We affirm the trial court's order granting attorney's fees.

DISMISSED IN PART; AFFIRMED IN PART.

DOWNEY, GLICKSTEIN and DELL, JJ., concur.
