Medeiros v. Firth
District Court of Appeal of Florida

1Opinion of the CourtEvander, J.
Garrett Medeiros appeals the trial court’s order vacating the default and the “default final judgment as to liability” entered against Lloyd Firth, a defendant below. For the reasons that follow, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
In May 2013, Medeiros filed a multi-count complaint for damages against Firth and Lara Duncan. 1 On October 22, 2013, the clerk entered a default against Firth pursuant to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.500(a) for his failure to file or serve any paper in the action. Medeiros also obtained a “default final judgment as to liability” against Firth.
