SIXTH DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________

Case No. 6D2024-1343 Lower Tribunal No. 22-CA-003145 _____________________________

ANDREW HAWRYCH,

Appellant, v.

PETER VON BERG, CHAZ HATFIELD, YVONNE VON BERG, LINDY HATFIELD ZINSER, and NUTRA-LUXE, M.D., LLC, Appellees. _____________________________

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Lee County. Leigh Frizzell Hayes, Judge.

March 13, 2026

PER CURIAM.

Dr. Andrew Hawrych appeals the trial court’s partial summary judgment on

four counts of his six-count complaint against Peter and Yvonne Von Berg, Chaz

Hatfield, Lindy Hatfield Zinser, and Nutra-Luxe, M.D., LLC. We affirm the trial

court’s judgment on the claims against Yvonne Von Berg, Chaz Hatfield, and Lindy

Hatfield Zinser without further comment because it is final as to those parties. See

Fla. R. App. P. 9.110(k) (stating that district courts of appeal have jurisdiction to review partial final judgment if it “disposes of an entire case as to any party”). We

dismiss the remainder of this appeal against Peter Von Berg and Nutra-Luxe, though,

because the claims that remain outstanding before the trial court involve the same

parties and are not separate and distinct from the claims pending on appeal. See

Almacenes El Globo De Quito, S.A. v. Dalbeta L.C., 181 So. 3d 559, 562 (Fla. 3d

DCA 2015) (“Rule 9.110(k) provides for appellate jurisdiction to hear a partial final

judgment only when the claims adjudicated by that order are separate and

independent from the portion of the case still to be adjudicated.” (citations omitted));

Homeowners Choice Prop. & Cas. Ins. v. Fraser, 346 So. 3d 228, 229 (Fla. 3d DCA

2022) (“The decree and related order on appeal resolve only the declaratory

judgment count, leaving other related counts relying on the same factual nexus

unresolved.”).

AFFIRMED in part; DISMISSED in part.

TRAVER, C.J., and WOZNIAK and GANNAM, JJ., concur.

Joseph A. Davidow, of Willis & Davidow, LLC, Naples, for Appellant.

Theodore L. Tripp, Jr., Gabriel Arbois, and Joel W. Hyatt, of Hahn Loeser & Parks LLP, Fort Myers, for Appellees.

NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF TIMELY FILED
