An appeal from the Circuit Court for Leon County. Terry P. Lewis, Judge. William S. Bilenky of Manson Bolves Donaldson Varn, P.A., Tampa, for Appellants. No appearance for Appellee Florida Department of Revenue. Abigail Price-Williams, Miami-Dade County Attorney, and Ileana Cruz, Assistant County Attorney, Miami, for Appellee Marcus Saiz de la Mora, Miami-Dade Tax Collector. No appearance for Appellee Broward County, Florida. PER CURIAM. Appellants seek review of an Order on Miami-Dade County’s Motion for Fees and Costs. The order grants a motion for attorney’s fees and costs, determining entitlement to fees and costs, but providing that the amount of fees due is to be determined at a subsequent evidentiary hearing. The order is not a final order or an otherwise appealable non-final order. See e.g. Scullin v. City of Pensacola, 667 So. 2d 215, 216 (Fla. 1st DCA 1995). Accordingly, appellees’ motion to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction is granted, and the appeal is hereby dismissed. Appellants’ Motion for Summary Disposition is denied as unauthorized. Fla. R. App. P. 9.315(c). RAY, WINOKUR, and JAY, JJ., CONCUR. 2
