IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA ANGEL R. RIVERA, Appellant, v. NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED CASE NO. 1D12-6002 STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. _____________________________/ Opinion filed March 8, 2013. An appeal from an order of the Circuit Court for Leon County. John C. Cooper, Judge. Angel R. Rivera, pro se, Appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee; Jennifer Parker, General Counsel, Florida Department of Corrections, Tallahassee (no appearance), for Appellee. PER CURIAM. Appellant has sought review of an Order Denying Motion to Remove Lien. Review of such an order would ordinarily be called up for review in an appeal from the final order entered concluding the action below. Mathews v. Risk Management, 16 So. 3d 230 (Fla. 1st DCA 2009). Here, however, no final order has yet been entered. See Benton v. Moore, 655 So. 2d 1273 (Fla. 1st DCA 1995) (dismissing appeal as premature where order granted motion to dismiss without dismissing action). Thus, the appeal is premature and must be dismissed. The dismissal is without prejudice to appellant s right to seek review upon the rendition of a final order disposing of the petition for writ of mandamus. BENTON, C.J., WOLF and SWANSON, JJ., CONCUR. 2
