Florida's Natural Growers v. Childs
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided August 4, 2004 · Benton, Browning, Polston
878 So. 2d 490; 2004 Fla. App. LEXIS 11420; 2004 WL 1736977 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Florida's Natural Growers v. Childs

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

In this workers’ compensation case, we affirm the final order entered on June 4, 2002. The appeal from the order awarding attorney’s fees is premature. See Suntree United, Methodist Church v. Cowell, 793 So.2d 1063, 1063 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001) (“Because the judge of compensation claims determined that claimant was entitled to a reasonable attorney fee, but reserved jurisdiction to determine the amount, we lack jurisdiction to consider the propriety of that portion of the order. See Dep’t of Children & Families v. Monroe, 744 So.2d 1163, 1164 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999) (an order that merely determines entitlement to attorney fees, without set*491ting an amount, is non-final and non-ap-pealable).”).

AFFIRMED.

BENTON, BROWNING, and POLSTON, JJ., concur.
