DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA
SECOND DISTRICT
YING PANG, Appellant,
V.
NORTHWOOD OF PASCO HOMEOWNERS
ASSOCIATION, INC., Appellee.
No. 2D2025-1586
October 14, 2026
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Pasco County; Alicia Polk, Judge.
Ying Pang, pro se.
Brittnie Burns and Bryan D. Hull of Bush Ross, P.A., Tampa, for Appellee.
PER CURIAM.
In this homeowners association dispute, Appellant, Ying Pang, has filed a notice of appeal in which she purports to appeal the following orders entered by the circuit court: Order Dismissing Counterclaim dated April 2, 2025; Order Granting Attorney's Fees dated April 2, 2025; Order to Show Cause Re: Contempt dated April 11, 2025; "Related Proposed Orders Submitted [on] April 11, 2025"; and "All Orders Issued Since April 2, 2025, especially those related to the misconduct and improper
orders." Having reviewed the briefs and the record and having considered Appellant's response to our prior order to show cause, we find that we only have jurisdiction to review the Order Dismissing Counterclaim. We affirm that order in all respects. We dismiss the remainder of the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See generally S.L.T. Warehouse Co. v. Webb, 304 So. 2d 97, 99 (Fla. 1974) ("Generally, the 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.").
Affirmed in part; dismissed in part.
