FORD v. PARADISE LAKES CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION (2020)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

Glenn FORD, John Desalme, Jack Gipson, Larry Kranz, and Rex Joyner, Appellants, v. PARADISE LAKES CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, Appellee.

Case No. 2D19-727

Decided: February 12, 2020

David A. Townsend of Townsend & Brannon, Tampa, for Appellants. Adam C. Gurley of Rabin Parker, P.A., Clearwater, for Appellee.

Five condominium owners appeal a final summary judgment entered in favor of Paradise Lakes Condominium Association on the owners' complaint for declaratory judgment. We affirm the final summary judgment without comment, but we dismiss this appeal as it relates to attorney's fees because the final summary judgment determines only entitlement and does not award an amount of fees. “[A]n order that only determines entitlement to attorney's fees and does not set the amount is a nonfinal and nonappealable order.” SP Healthcare Holdings, LLC v. Surgery Ctr. Holdings, Inc., 208 So. 3d 775, 781 (Fla. 2d DCA 2016) (citing Salem v. Abram, 868 So. 2d 1213, 1214 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004)).

Affirmed in part; dismissed in part.

MORRIS, Judge.

NORTHCUTT and LaROSE, JJ., Concur.
