FEDERAL NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION v. GODWIN (2019)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

FEDERAL NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION, Appellant, v. Carmen D. GODWIN; Heron Acquisition Corp.; The San Juline Condominium Association, Inc.; Rafael Q. Godwin; Unknown Tenant n/k/a Sean Lynch; in possession of the subject property, et al., Appellees.

No. 1D18-3497

Decided: November 20, 2019

Robert R. Edwards and Aamir Saeed of Choice Legal Group, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for Appellant. Julianna E. Groot, Lake Mary, for Appellees.

Fannie Mae's motion to vacate the final judgment was not timely filed under Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.540(b). Because our jurisdiction to review an order denying a motion for relief from judgment is limited to orders on “authorized and timely motion[s],” we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.130(a)(5).

Dismissed.

Per Curiam.

Ray, C.J., and Roberts and Rowe, JJ., concur.
