Summary
dismissing workers' compensation appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the order did not include the certification required by rule 9.180(b)(C)
Summary of this case from LANDRY v. AMS STAFF LEASINGOpinion
No. 99-2572.
Opinion filed September 14, 1999.
An appeal from an order of the Judge of Compensation Claims, Judith A. Brechner, Judge.
Gerald F. Znosko and Philip R. Augustine of Langston, Hess, Bolton, Znosko and Helm, Maitland, for appellants.
No appearance for appellee.
The compensation order in this workers' compensation case finds the claim below to be compensable, finds that the claimant is entitled to certain benefits, but does not expressly award or determine the amount of those benefits. For that reason, we conclude that the order is not final and appealable. Cf., Wometco Enterprises v. Cordoves, 650 So.2d 1117 (Fla. 1st DCA 1995). In addition, although the order does adjudicate the issue of compensability, it is not a nonfinal order appealable pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.180(b)(1)(C), inasmuch as it does not include the certification required by that rule. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
