JENA SWEENEY MICHAEL SWEENEY v. ISLANDVIEW BEACH HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION INC (2023)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

JENA L. SWEENEY and MICHAEL D. SWEENEY, Appellants, v. ISLANDVIEW BEACH HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION, INC., Appellee.

No. 1D22-0787

Decided: September 27, 2023

Kyle S. Bauman of Anchors Smith Grimsley, Fort Walton Beach, for Appellants. Michael A. Rosenberg and Therese A. Savona of Cole, Scott & Kissane, P.A., Plantation, for Appellee.

Appellants seek review of a trial court order dismissing their counterclaims against Appellees. Because their counterclaims were compulsory, not permissive, appeal of their dismissal is not permitted until a final disposition of the original cause has been obtained. Mendez v. West Flagler Family Ass'n, Inc., 303 So. 2d 1, 5 (Fla. 1974); Campbell v. Gordon, 674 So. 2d 783, 785 (Fla. 1st DCA 1996). We therefore dismiss this appeal.

DISMISSED.

PER CURIAM.

B.L. THOMAS, WINOKUR, and LONG, JJ., concur.
