PER CURIAM.

DISMISSED. See McGuire v. Fla. Lottery, 17 So. 3d 1276 (Fla. 1st DCA 2009) (dismissing an appeal for lack of jurisdiction where the trial court granted a motion to dismiss without prejudice); see also Kopel v. Kopel, 229 So. 3d 812 (Fla. 2017) (recognizing for statute of limitations purposes that “as long as the initial complaint gives the defendant fair notice of the . . . factual underpinning of the claim, amendments stating new legal theories can relate back . . . even where the legal theory of recovery has changed or where the original and amended claims require the assertion of different elements”). OSTERHAUS, C.J., and LEWIS and TANENBAUM, JJ., concur.
