Per Curiam.

This case is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, as no signed written order was rendered below. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.020(f) (defining an "order" as "[a] decision, order, judgment, decree, or rule of a lower tribunal, excluding minutes and minute book entries" (emphasis added)); State v. Wagner, 863 So.2d 1224, 1228 (Fla. 2004) ("Because the signed court minutes form was not an order within the definition of the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure, the act of filing it with the court clerk did not amount to the rendition of an order."); Owens v. State, 579 So.2d 311, 312- 13 (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. An oral pronouncement by the trial court cannot be appealed. The clerk's minutes cannot substitute for the written order." (internal citations omitted)).

Dismissed.

Ray, Nordby, and Long, JJ., concur.
