Scott Herman and Craig Cooper v. Gary Ewers, Gerri McGighan-Lukens, and Oxylife Respiratory Services, LLC
The Fourth DCA affirmed, holding that the plaintiffs' challenge to a March 27, 2024 order denying bad-faith attorney's fees was not properly before the court because it was time-barred. Once the April 5, 2024 final judgment was entered, the interlocutory fee-denial order merged into the judgment and triggered the 30-day appeal window; the plaintiffs failed to raise it in their consolidated appeal of the final judgment and could not revive it through later post-judgment motions.
