IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA ISOL AUTO SUPPLY a/k/a FRANK NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO AUTO and THE HARTFORD, FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED. Appellants, CASE NO. 1D07-1308 v. JORGE DIAZ, Appellee. ______________________________/ Opinion filed September 12, 2007. An appeal from an order of the Judge of Compensation Claims. Charles M. Hill, III, Judge. H. George Kagan of Miller, Kagan, Rodriguez and Silver, P.A., West Palm Beach, for Appellants. Bill McCabe of Shepherd, McCabe & Cooley, Longwood, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. Because the parties entered into a stipulated settlement agreement which acknowledged that all issues are resolved except as to the amount of attorney fees and costs, this appeal seeking review of an earlier nonfinal ruling which denied a fraud defense is dismissed. The settlement of a case renders it moot. See e.g., Santa Rosa County v. Admin. Comm n, Div. of Admin. Hearings, 661 So. 2d 1190, 1193 (Fla. 1995); Jones v. Champion, 675 So. 2d 244 (Fla. 2d DCA 1996); Seslow v. Seslow, 625 So. 2d 1248 (Fla. 4th DCA 1993). Florida s appellate courts reserve the exercise of judicial power for cases involving actual controversies. Merkle v. Guardianship of Jacoby, 912 So. 2d 595, 599 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005). DISMISSED. DAVIS, POLSTON, and ROBERTS, JJ., CONCUR. 2
