IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA KGW SERVICES, INC., and NORGUARD INSURANCE COMPANY, NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED Appellants, CASE NO. 1D10-4266 v. KENNETH WILDER, Appellee. _____________________________/ Opinion filed February 11, 2011. An appeal from an order of the Judge of Compensation Claims. Thomas W. Sculco, Judge. Date of Accident: July 9, 2008. Robert L. Dietz of Zimmerman Kiser Sutcliffe, Orlando, for Appellants. Bill McCabe, Longwood, and Thomas A. Vaughan, II, and Carrie L. Hixson, Orlando, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. Upon review of Appellants response to this court s December 1, 2010, order to show cause, we conclude the order on appeal is a non-appealable, nonfinal order because it specifically reserves jurisdiction on ripe claims for adjustment of the average weekly wage and temporary disability benefits. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.180(b)(1); Lama v. Miami-Dade County, 36 So. 3d 920 (Fla. 1st DCA 2010) (dismissing appeal from order reserving jurisdiction on ripe issue of medical benefits); Betancourt v. Sears Roebuck Co., 693 So. 2d 680, 682 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997) (stating where the JCC reserves ruling on claim that is ripe for adjudication, order is not yet final or appealable). Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. BENTON, C.J., DAVIS, and THOMAS, JJ., CONCUR. 2
