Appellant shall specifically address how the January 16, 2023 order is an appealable final or nonfinal order, as it appears the order merely grants a motion for additur without entering a final judgment; and whether the January 16 order could be construed as an order granting a new trial. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.020(h)(1), 9.130(a)(4) (providing "[o]rders disposing of motions for rehearing or motions that suspend rendition are not reviewable separately from a review of the final order"); Caufield v. Cantele, 837 So. 2d 371, 375 (Fla. 2002) ("A final judgment is one which ends the litigation between the parties and disposes of all issues involved such that no further action by the court will be necessary."); Stanberry v. Escambia Cnty., 813 So. 2d 278, 280 (Fla. 1st DCA 2002) (rejecting argument that an order granting remittitur could be construed as an order granting a new trial when the order did not grant a new trial in the event remittitur was rejected).

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.
