Gibson Paul, Appellant, v. Ricky D. Dixon, Secretary, Department of Corrections, Appellee.
The Court dismisses the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. This appeal involves a nonfinal order transferring venue, so the Court treats the motion for rehearing filed in the lower tribunal as a motion for reconsideration. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.130(a)(3)(A). The motion for reconsideration did not toll rendition of the nonfinal order on appeal under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.020(h), and therefore, the appeal is untimely.
Per Curiam.
Rowe, Bilbrey, and M.K. Thomas, JJ., concur.
