IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA SECOND DISTRICT

JOEL EDWARD CHANDLER, ) ) Appellant, ) ) v. ) Case No. 2D17-1608 ) MOTIVEPOWER, INC., ) ) Appellee. ) )

Opinion filed March 16, 2018.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Polk County; Keith P. Spoto, Judge.

Jeffrey A. Rapkin of the Law Offices of Jeffrey A. Rapkin, Port Charlotte, for Appellant.

David B. Shelton and Damien A. Orato of Rumberger, Kirk & Caldwell, P.A., Orlando, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the trial court's order granting summary judgment without further

comment. However, we dismiss for lack of jurisdiction the portion of the appeal

challenging the trial court's reservation of jurisdiction on attorney fees. See, e.g., Card

v. Card, 122 So. 3d 436, 437 (Fla. 2d DCA 2013) (dismissing the portion of the appeal

challenging attorney fees because not only was the order ambiguous as to entitlement but it also failed to set an amount of fees thereby rendering that portion of the final

judgment nonfinal and nonappealable).

Affirmed in part and dismissed in part.

KELLY, SLEET, and SALARIO, JJ., Concur.
