No. 3D22-179 Lower Tribunal No. 18-1100 ________________

Brenda Klepach Abrams, etc., Appellant,

vs.

Steve L. Waserstein, etc., Appellee.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Spencer Eig, Judge.

Brenda Klepach Abrams, in proper person.

Waserstein & Nunez, PLLC, and Carlos Nunez-Vivas and Catherine Shannon Christie, for appellee.

Before FERNANDEZ, C.J., and HENDON and LOBREE, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

Brenda Klepach Abrams challenges the trial court’s order granting guardian Steve L. Waserstein’s petition for approval to enter into a listing

agreement for the sale of Abrams’ mother’s property, contending that the trial

court denied her due process in granting the petition and entering the order

without a hearing. This is Abrams’ fifth appeal to this Court relating to trial

court orders centering on her mother’s property. Pursuant to this Court’s

opinions in Abrams v. Klepach, 320 So. 3d 999, 1000 (Fla. 3d DCA 2021),

and Abrams v. Waserstein, 349 So. 3d 493, 495 (Fla. 3d DCA 2022), we lack

jurisdiction to consider Abrams’ appeal because she is not an interested

person. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.170(b) (“Except for proceedings under rule

9.100 and rule 9.130(a), appeals of orders rendered in probate and

guardianship cases shall be limited to orders that finally determine a right or

obligation of an interested person . . . .”). As such, we dismiss this appeal

for lack of jurisdiction.

Dismissed.
