Elvis Cruz v. 5101 RE CO, LLC
In this consolidated appeal arising from a settlement-agreement dispute over the demolition of a historic Miami building, the Third DCA dismissed Cruz's appeal of a summary judgment order for lack of appellate jurisdiction because the Developer's counterclaim—based on the same facts—remained pending in the trial court and was inextricably intertwined with the adjudicated claims, rendering the order a non-appealable partial judgment under Rule 9.110(k). The court separately treated Cruz's appeal of the $136,611 attorney's fees-and-costs order as a certiorari petition, granted it, and quashed the fee order because requiring payment while interdependent factual issues remain unresolved causes irreparable harm as a matter of law.
