5D20-0318 SASSO, J., dissenting. Appellant, Jason Daniel Taylor, appeals from an order denying his “Motion Refuting the Accuracy of the Written Transcripts from the Original Recorded Court Proceeding.” Appellant alleges the transcript at issue is relevant to his pending motion for postconviction relief, which he filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. However, the postconviction court has not disposed of Appellant’s 3.850 motion, as it is pending an evidentiary hearing. Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction to hear this appeal because the order denying Appellant’s motion is neither a final order nor an appealable nonfinal order. See Fla. R. Crim. P. 9.140; State v. Gaines, 770 So. 2d 1221, 1223–24 (Fla. 2000) (“[T]he test employed by the appellate court to determine finality of an order, judgment or decree is whether the order in question constitutes an end to the judicial labor in the cause, and nothing further remains to be done by the court to effectuate a termination of the cause as between the parties directly affected.”) (citation omitted). Further, even if treated as a petition for writ of certiorari, Appellant has failed to allege irreparable harm necessary to meet the jurisdictional threshold for review. See, e.g., Jaye v. Royal Saxon, Inc., 720 So. 2d 214, 215 (Fla. 1998). Consequently, I would dismiss this case for lack of jurisdiction.
