ROOFCRAFT INTERNATIONAL, INC., PATRICK LEAVENS, AND DAVID JONES, APPELLANTS,
v.
WOODIE H. THOMAS, III, APPELLEE

Fla. 4th DCA | 1996-07-03
No. 96-0554
GLICKSTEIN, KLEIN and STEVENSON, JJ., concur.
677 So. 2d 39 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (1996) Positive Treatment
Cited by 4 cases


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Defendants appeal an order granting plaintiffs motion for judgment on the pleadings as to liability only. We have jurisdiction to review such a non-final order under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.130(a)(3)(C)(iv). The order, however, was entered because months earlier the trial court had struck defendants’ pleadings for discovery violations. The defendants are not arguing that the order on appeal is incorrect, but rather that the order striking the pleadings was erroneous. The appropriate method for defendants to review the order striking the pleadings is by plenary appeal. Karr v. Sellers, 620 So. 2d 1104 (Fla.4th DCA 1993). We therefore affirm without prejudice to defendants appealing the order striking their pleadings after final judgment.

Affirmed.

GLICKSTEIN, KLEIN and STEVENSON, JJ., concur.
