HOLDRIDGE v. ANDERSON (2024)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Heidi HOLDRIDGE and Richard Holdridge, Appellants, v. Rebecca ANDERSON, Appellee.

No. 1D2024-0372

Decided: December 11, 2024

Heidi Holdridge and Richard Holdridge, pro se, Appellants. Kellen G. Vincent of Robinson, Kennon & Kendron, P.A., Lake City, for Appellee.

Heidi and Richard Holdridge appeal the trial court's Order Ratifying Settlement, and Order on Defendant's Motion to Vacate Dismissal and Reinstate Counterclaim. But the orders are not final, see Holland v. Holland, 140 So. 3d 1155, 1156–57 (Fla. 1st DCA 2014) (establishing that final orders must “contain ‘unequivocal language of finality’ ”), nor an enumerated non-final appealable order. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.130. Thus, we lack jurisdiction. See Art. V, § 4(b), Fla. Const. (“District courts of appeal shall have jurisdiction to hear appeals ․ from final judgment or orders of trial courts[.]”); see also Bateman v. Regions Bank, Heron Dev. Grp., Inc., 367 So. 3d 621 (Fla. 1st DCA 2023) (dismissing an appeal of a non-final order not listed in rule 9.130).

Dismissed.

Per Curiam.

Osterhaus, C.J., and Lewis and Winokur, JJ., concur.
