PER CURIAM.
DISMISSED. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.110(l) (“Except as provided in rule 9.020(h), if a notice of appeal is filed before rendition of a final order, the appeal will be subject to dismissal as premature.");
Garrido v. SafePoint Ins. Co., 347 So. 3d 108, 113 (Fla. 3d DCA 2022) (“Because the challenged order is neither final nor included in Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.130(a)(3)'s schedule of appealable non-final orders, we lack appellate jurisdiction to review the challenged order." (citation omitted)); see also Garrido, 347 So. 3d at 112 n.1 (“[A]side from a notice of voluntary dismissal under Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.420(a), we know of no authority . . . whereby a mere filing by a party, without a subsequent order of the trial court, operates as a final adjudication on the merits of a claim.”).
