David Goad v. Zuehl Airport Flying Community Owners Association, Inc.

Summary

The Eighth District Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the trial court had not issued a final judgment or other appealable order. The appellee’s motion for reconsideration of the appellant’s in forma pauperis status was denied as moot.

Holdings

1. The court of appeals lacked jurisdiction because the record contained neither a final judgment nor an appealable interlocutory order authorized by statute.
2. The motion for reconsideration of the order permitting appellant to proceed in forma pauperis was denied as moot.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the court of appeals had jurisdiction over an appeal from purported verbal trial-court rulings when the record contained neither a signed order nor a final judgment.
2. Whether appellee's motion for reconsideration of the order permitting appellant to proceed in forma pauperis should be decided after dismissal of the appeal.

Disposition

dismissed
