Petitioners, v. CASE NO. 1D05-1722 WAKULLA COUNTY, FLORIDA, and FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS, Respondents. ___________________________/ VICTOR LAMBOU, ROBERT ALESSI and EARL ENGE, Petitioners, v. CASE NO. 1D05-2990 WAKULLA COUNTY, FLORIDA, and FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS, Respondents. ___________________________/ Opinion filed January 31, 2006. An appeal from a non-final order from the Department of Community Affairs. Ross Stafford Burnaman, Tallahassee, Attorney for Petitioners. Ronald A. Mowrey and Donna S. Biggins of Mowrey & Biggins, P.A., Tallahassee, Attorneys for Respondents Wakulla County, Florida. Kelly A. Martinson, Assistant General Counsel, Department of Community Affairs, Tallahassee, Attorney for Respondent Florida Department of Community Affairs. Robert A. Routa of Robert A. Routa, P.A., Tallahassee, Attorney for Respondent N.G. Wade Investment Company. PER CURIAM. In these consolidated appeals, Petitioners challenge the Department of Community Affairs orders dismissing portions of their petitions for administrative hearings. A partial dismissal of a complaint is only reviewable when it is established that the dismissed claims are not legally and factually interrelated with the remaining claims. Mendez v. West Flagler Family Ass n, 303 So. 2d 1, 5 (Fla. 1974); Swan v. St. Thomas Univ., 592 So. 2d 351, 352 (Fla. 3d DCA 1992); Taddie Underground Util. Co., Inc. v. Sloan Pump Co., Inc., 497 So. 2d 701, 702 (Fla. 2d DCA 1986). We find that Petitioners do not meet this burden. We therefore deny the petition. DENIED.
