Opinion
Case No. SC02-2159.
June 2, 2003.
Lower Tribunal No. 020233-EI
The Office of Public Counsel (OPC), representing the Citizens of the State of Florida, appeals Public Service Commission Order Number 02-1199, issued September 3, 2002. The Public Service Commission (Commission) asserts that this appeal is premature and should be dismissed because certain portions of Order Number 02-1199 are not final. We agree.
We are opposed to piecemeal review of single orders, especially when, as in this cause, the final and non-final actions contained in Order No. 02-1199 are intertwined. Therefore, we dismiss this cause without prejudice to any party to bring a challenge to Order No. 02-1199 after all portions are final. By this Order, this Court has not made a determination as to whether any issued raised by the OPC in this appeal would be procedurally barred.
It is so ordered.
ANSTEAD, C.J., WELLS, PARIENTE, CANTERO and BELL, JJ., concur. LEWIS and QUINCE, JJ., concur in result only.
