1Opinion of the Court

FASTRACK APPEAL

2Per curiam

An order simply granting a motion to dismiss a complaint “with prejudice” is not a final appealable order. Russell v. Russell, 507 So.2d 661 (Fla. 4th DCA 1987). The judicial labor remaining to be accomplished at the trial court level (upon appropriate application) is an order dismissing the complaint with prejudice. Thus, we are without jurisdiction to consider this appeal.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HERSEY, C.J., and DELL and STONE, JJ., concur.
