Type	Disposition by Order
Subtype	Denied
Description	Order Denying Petition for Writ - Certiorari ~ ORDERED that the March 30, 2022 petition for writ of prohibition is denied with prejudice. The circuit court has jurisdiction to award prevailing party fees under Rule 1.525 and section 768.295(4), Florida Statutes (2021). Petitioners’ arguments on this point are without merit. As to the other arguments raised in the petition, this Court lacks jurisdiction to review these issues at this time. Any error the court has made in finding entitlement to fees can be reviewed on appeal from a final order determining the amount. Winkelman v. Toll, 632 So. 2d 130, 131 (Fla. 4th DCA 1994).CONNER, C.J., DAMOORGIAN and KUNTZ, JJ., concur.

Type	Order
Subtype	Order to File Response re Jurisdiction
Description	AA - File Statement for Basis of Jurisdiction ~ ORDERED that, within ten (10) days from the date of this order, appellants shall file in this court a brief statement explaining the basis for this court's subject matter jurisdiction over the order appealed in this case, citing supporting legal authorities. Appellants shall specifically address how the February 28, 2022 order is an appealable final or nonfinal order, as it appears the order does not determine "jurisdiction of a person" and merely determines entitlement to attorney's fees without awarding an amount. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.130(a)(3)(C)(i); Schmidt v. Schmidt, 319 So. 3d 65 (Fla. 4th DCA 2021) ("An order merely finding entitlement to attorney's fees is a non-final, non-appealable order."); Frier v. Frier, 13 So. 3d 145, 146 (Fla. 1st DCA 2009) ("The law is clear that 'the term jurisdiction of the person' in rule 9.130(a)(3)(C)(i) 'refers to service of process or to the applicability of the long arm statute to non-residents.'") (quoting Warren v. Se. Leisure Sys., Inc., 522 So. 2d 979, 980 (Fla. 1st DCA 1988)). Further,Appellees may file a response within ten (10) days of service of that statement.

Subtype	Order on Filing Fee
Description	ORD-Pay Filing Fee-Civil Appeal ~ The jurisdiction of this court was invoked by filing of a Notice of Appeal in the lower tribunal. The $300.00 filing fee required by the applicable rule of procedure and Section 35.22(2)(a), Florida Statutes (2021), is due and payable REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE APPEAL IS LATER DISMISSED VOLUNTARILY OR ADVERSELY.ORDERED that appellant shall pay the $300.00 filing fee or file the lower tribunal clerk's determination of indigent status in this court within ten (10) days from the date of this order. The fee may be paid electronically through the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal – see the court’s website for details. Failure to comply within the time prescribed will result in dismissal of this cause and may result in the court sanctioning of any party, or the party's attorney, who has not paid the filing fee. The attorney filing the Notice of Appeal has a duty to tender the filing fee to the appellate court when the appeal is initiated. See In Re Payment of Filing Fees, 744 So. 2d 1025 (Fla. 4th DCA 1997). Failure of the attorney to pay will result in referral to the Department of Financial Services for collection.**NOTE: This order does not toll the time for filing any pleadings necessary to prosecute this appeal and no extensions of time will be entertained. Once the fee is paid, it is not refundable. Except for dismissal, this court will take no action in this appeal until the filing fee is paid or until a lower tribunal clerk's determination of indigent status is filed.
