Third District Court of Appeal State of Florida Opinion filed November 13, 2019. Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing. ________________ No. 3D19-282 Lower Tribunal No. 15-11400A ________________ Michael Farr, Appellant, vs. The State of Florida, Appellee. An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Milton Hirsch, Judge. Paige C. Tarver, for appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Sandra Lipman, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee. Before SALTER, LOGUE and SCALES, JJ. ON MOTION TO DISMISS PER CURIAM. Michael Farr, the defendant below, challenges the trial court’s January 8, 2019 non-final order denying Farr’s Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.220(g)(2) motion to disclose the identity of an individual who Farr claims is a confidential informant. Because the subject order is not one of the reviewable non-final orders identified in Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.140, we lack appellate jurisdiction to review the order. Also, because any harm to Farr may be remedied on plenary appeal, the order is not reviewable via petition for writ of certiorari. See Mingle v. State, 429 So. 2d 850 (Fla. 4th DCA 1983). We, therefore, grant the State’s motion to dismiss and dismiss the appeal. Appeal dismissed. 2
