Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, Martin County; Elizabeth Metzger, Judge; L.T. Case No. 03–258 CA.
Philip M. Burlington of Burlington & Rockenbach, P.A., West Palm Beach, Jeffrey M. Liggio of Liggio Benrubi, P.A., West Palm Beach, and Louis M. Silber of Silber, Valente & Davis, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellants. Markham R. Leventhal and Michael N. Wolgin of Jorden Burt LLP, Miami, for appellee Florida Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association.
PER CURIAM.
This appeal is from a non-final order denying the appellants' motion to join a third party in the litigation below. The order is not one of the appealable non-final orders found in Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.130(a)(3) and is not otherwise appealable. Nor do we find a writ of certiorari to be appropriate were we to treat this appeal as a petition for one. See Karr v. Palm Peterbilt–GMC Trucks, Inc., 551 So.2d 1278, 1278–79 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989) (Warner, J., specially concurring) (noting that a petition for writ of certiorari directed at an order denying a motion to amend to add a party should be denied where an adequate remedy on plenary appeal is available). Therefore, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
Dismissed.
