805 So. 2d 900 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2001)

Opinion

No. 2D00-3508

Opinion filed October 12, 2001.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Pinellas County; Frank Quesada, Judge.

John E. Swisher, St. Petersburg, for Appellant.

Elizabeth G. Mansfield of Carnal Mansfield, P.A., St. Petersburg, for Appellee John B. Kane and Company, Inc.

Renee H. Gordon of Gay and Gordon Attorneys, P.A., St. Petersburg, for Appellee Easy Frog Enterprises, Inc.

Robert W. Boos and Beth A. Cronin of Ruden, McClosky, Smith, Schuster Russell, P.A., Tampa, for Appellees Gary J. Williams and Cheryl M. Williams.


JB Investments, Inc., raises two issues in this appeal. Its first point challenges the circuit court's determination that a mortgage was null and void. We hold that the evidence was sufficient to support the court's finding and affirm without further discussion. JB's second point challenges the circuit court's retention of jurisdiction to award Easy Frog Enterprises its costs and attorney's fees. A ruling that only determines the right to attorney's fees without setting the amount is nonfinal and nonappealable. McIlveen v. McIlveen, 644 So.2d 612 (Fla. 2d DCA 1994). We therefore dismiss the portion of this appeal addressing that part of the judgment.

Affirmed in part, dismissed in part.

WHATLEY, A.C.J., and DANAHY, PAUL W., (SENIOR) JUDGE, Concur.
