Docket Date 2022-04-27
Type Order
Subtype Order to Show Cause
Description ORD-TO SHOW CAUSE ~ Appellant shall show cause within thirty days why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See Wahl v. Taylor, 926 So. 2d 488, 489 (Fla. 2d DCA 2006) ("[A]n order merely granting a motion for summary judgment is not a final order."); Better Gov't Ass'n of Sarasota Cty. v. State, 802 So. 2d 414 (Fla. 2d DCA 2001). Jurisdiction is relinquished to the extent necessary to allow the trial court to enter an appealable, final order. Should appellant provide this court with such an appealable, final order within twenty days, this premature appeal will be mature and will proceed to consideration. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.110(l) (stating that if a notice of appeal is prematurely filed before rendition of a final order, "the lower tribunal retains jurisdiction to render a final order"). If appellant fails to present an appealable order within that time frame, or persuade this court that the existing order is appealable, this appeal will be subject to dismissal without further notice. Requests to extend the time to comply with this order to show cause are unlikely to receive favorable consideration.
