Opinion

Case No. 4D03-961.

Opinion filed March 24, 2004.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County, Arthur G. Wroble, Judge, L.T. Case No. CL 99-9622 AW.

F. Malcolm Cunningham, Jr. and Amy L. Fischer of The Cunningham Law Firm, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellant Walter T. Embry, Inc.

Michael K. Winston, John R. Hart and Henry S. Wulf of Carlton Fields, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellees.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant Walter T. Embry, Inc. appealed three orders in this case. As to the dismissal order, we affirm. As to the order striking defenses and the discovery order, this Court is without jurisdiction because the orders are non-final, non-appealable orders. See Broward County v. G.B.V. Int'l, Ltd., 787 So.2d 838, 843 (Fla. 2001) (recognizing that a discovery order is a non-final, non-appealable order); Bernstein v. First Fed. Sav. Loan Ass'n of Orlando, 384 So.2d 301, 302 (Fla. 5th DCA 1980) (concluding that an order striking affirmative defenses is not an appealable order under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.130).

AFFIRMED.

POLEN, MAY, JJ., and DAMOORGIAN, DORIAN, K., Associate Judge, concur.

NOT FINAL UNTIL DISPOSITION OF ANY TIMELY FILED MOTION FOR REHEARING.
