Narrative Opinion Summary

The Third District Court of Appeal of Florida issued an opinion on September 14, 2022, regarding an appeal by Yachtbrasil Motor Boat and Charters, LLC, against CNP XII Ventures LLC. The appeal arose from a lower tribunal ruling in Miami-Dade County, presided over by Judge Charles Johnson. The court, with Judges Scales, Gordo, and Bokor, addressed a motion to dismiss and subsequently granted it, determining that the appeal sought review of a non-final order, which is not permissible under Florida law. The court cited the precedent set in Libman v. Fla. Wellness Rehab. Ctr. Inc., emphasizing that piecemeal appeals are disallowed when claims are interrelated and involve the same transaction and parties. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed.
