Nilo Hernandez,
Appellant,
vs.
Tamara Garcia,
Appellee.
An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Marcia Del Rey,
Judge.
Wasson & Associates, Chartered, and Annabel C. Majewski, for appellant.
Bofill Law Group, and Jose C. Bofill, for appellee.
Before EMAS, C.J., and LOGUE and HENDON, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
ON APPELLEE’S MOTION TO DISMISS
We grant appellee’s motion and dismiss this appeal as one taken from a
nonfinal, nonappealable order. See, e.g., M.M. v. Fla. Dep’t of Children &
Families, 189 So. 3d 134, 137 (Fla. 2016) (observing that “[a]n appeal from a final
order is appropriate when judicial labor has ended”); S.L.T. Warehouse Co. v.
Webb, 304 So. 2d 97, 99 (Fla. 1974) (noting: “Generally, the test employed by the
appellate court to determine finality of an order, judgment or decree is whether the
order in question constitutes an end to the judicial labor in the cause, and nothing
further remains to be done by the court to effectuate a termination of the cause as
between the parties directly affected.”) This dismissal is without prejudice to the
filing of a proper and timely appeal from a final, appealable order. Given this
disposition, we do not reach the claims raised in the instant appeal, nor do we
express any comment on their relative merit.
Appeal dismissed.
