Description ORD-Sua Sponte Dismissed for Lack of Jurisdiction ~ ORDERED that, upon consideration of appellee’s October 27, 2022 response to appellant’s October 20, 2022 jurisdictional brief, the above-styled appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.130(a)(3)(G) (allowing for the immediate appeal of orders that “grant or deny a motion for leave to amend to assert a claim for punitive damages”); Insignia Homes, Inc. v. Hinden, 675 So. 2d 673, 674 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996) (“An order denying a motion to dismiss is a non-appealable, nonfinal order.”). Because the record before this court does not reflect that appellee, the plaintiff below, made an initial showing by evidence in the record or by proffer which would provide a reasonable basis for recovery of punitive damages for claims brought under Florida law, this order is without prejudice to appellant compelling appellee’s compliance with the requirements of section 768.72, Florida Statutes (2022). Further, ORDERED that appellant’s November 9, 2022 motion for extension of time to file initial brief is determined to be moot. WARNER, DAMOORGIAN and CONNER, JJ., concur.
