Opinion
No. 1D08-3851.
December 24, 2008.
An appeal from the Circuit Court for Escambia County. T. Michael Jones, Judge.
Dennis K. Larry and Jeremy C. Branning, Clark, Partington, Hart, Larry, Bond Stackhouse, Pensacola, for Appellant.
George R. Mead, II, Hill Westmoreland, P.A., Pensacola, for Appellee.
Upon consideration of the appellant's responses to the Court's orders of August 27, 2008, and September 12, 2008, the Court has concluded that the matters addressed by the order on appeal are inextricably intertwined with the matters that remain pending in the lower tribunal. Therefore, the order on appeal is nonfinal and the appellant's attempt to invoke this Court's jurisdiction is premature. See generally S.L.T. Warehouse Co. v. Webb, 304 So.2d 97, 99 (Fla. 1974). Appellate review will be available upon entry of a final order bringing the entire proceeding to a close.
ALLEN, PADOVANO, and ROBERTS, JJ., concur.
