holding that this court lacks jurisdiction to entertain an appeal of a non-final order denying a motion to dissolve a writ of garnishment
Summary of this case from McClintock v. Chittenden Trust Co.Opinion
No. 4D01-1613.
October 31, 2001.
Appeal of a non-final order from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County; Lucy Chernow Brown, Judge; L.T. Case No. CL 96-6509 AF.
Gary S. Betensky and Kathleen M.P. Davis of Richman Greer Weil Brumbaugh Mirabito Christensen, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellant.
Daniel L. Koch of Herzfeld Rubin, Miami, for appellee.
Jobsite Personnel, Inc. appeals from a nonfinal order of the trial court which denied its motion to dissolve a writ of garnishment on its bank account obtained by Great West Life Annuity Insurance Corporation. We lack jurisdiction to entertain this appeal. The trial court's order was not a "final judgment which terminates the writ, either by discharging the garnishee from further liability under the writ or by awarding judgment in favor of the judgment creditor against the garnishee." Barnett Bank of Broward County v. Tabatchnick, 401 So.2d 1166, 1166 (Fla. 4th DCA 1981). It is a nonfinal order over which we lack jurisdiction. We, therefore, dismiss this appeal.
DISMISSED.
POLEN, C.J., KLEIN and STEVENSON, JJ., concur.
