An appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County. Frederick B. Tygart, Judge.
E.T. Fernandez, III, and Gregory E. Blackwell, of Fernandez Trial Lawyers, P.A., Jacksonville, for Appellant. Dennis R. Schutt, and Jeffrey D. Devonchik, of Schutt, Schmidt and Noey, Jacksonville, for Appellee.
PER CURIAM.

DISMISSED. See Hernando County v. Leisure Hills, Inc., 648 So.2d 257 (Fla. 5th DCA 1994) (determining that order reserving jurisdiction to determine damages is non-final); Amendments to Fla. R. App. P., 780 So.2d 834 (Fla.2000) (repealing former rule 9.130(a)(3)(C)(iv), which allowed interlocutory review of orders determining liability in favor of a party seeking affirmative relief); see also Demont v. Demont, 24 So.3d 699 (Fla. 1st DCA 2009) (dismissing appeal rather than allowing lower court to enter a final order where an indeterminate amount of judicial labor remained to be done before a final order could be entered).

ROBERTS, WETHERELL, and ROWE, JJ., concur.
