District Court of Appeal of Florida

An appeal from an order denying a motion to compel arbitration is dismissed as untimely where defendants could not avoid the consequences of their failure to appeal an earlier order denying a motion to compel and revive their right to appeal by filing a renewed motion for arbitration after the time to appeal had expired.
