Williams v. Dixon

Opinion

FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________ No. 1D2024-1774 _____________________________ MARK WILLIAMS, Appellant, v. RICKY D. DIXON, Secretary, Florida Department of Corrections, Appellee. _____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Leon County.

Angela C. Dempsey, Judge.

December 4, 2024 PER CURIAM.

Because the order on appeal merely grants a motion to dismiss but does not actually dismiss the action, it is neither a final order nor an appealable non-final order. See Benton v. Moore, 655 So. 2d 1272, 1273 (Fla. 1st DCA 1995). Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. This dismissal is without prejudice to the appellant’s right to file a timely notice of appeal once a final order has been rendered.

LEWIS, RAY, and BILBREY, JJ., concur. _____________________________ Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________

Mark Williams, pro se, Appellant.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Brandon M. Elyakim, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
