Gibson Paul v. Ricky D. Dixon, Secretary

Opinion

FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA

No. 1D2024-2585

GIBSON PAUL,

Appellant,

v.

RICKY D. DIXON, Secretary, Department of Corrections,

Appellee.

_____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Lafayette County. David W. Fina, Judge.

January 23, 2025

PER CURIAM.

The Court dismisses the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. This appeal involves a nonfinal order transferring venue, so the Court treats the motion for rehearing filed in the lower tribunal as a motion for reconsideration. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.130(a)(3)(A). The motion for reconsideration did not toll rendition of the nonfinal order on appeal under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.020(h), and therefore, the appeal is untimely.

ROWE, BILBREY, and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur.

_____________________________

Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331.
