RULE 5.100. RIGHT OF APPEAL
Appeal of final orders and discretionary appellate review of non-final orders are governed by the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure.
Committee Notes
For purposes of appellate review, the service of a motion for rehearing postpones rendition of final orders only. A motion for rehearing of a non-final order does not toll the running of the time to seek review of that order.
