Lower Tribunal No. 2024-CA-006324-O
_____________________________
VERALEANE WATSON,
Appellant,
v.
EUCKIAL ROLLE and GELITA ROLLE,
Appellees.
_____________________________
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Orange County.
Eric J. Netcher and John E. Jordan, Judges.
August 28, 2026
BROWNLEE, J.
Appellant Veraleane Watson appeals the trial court’s order on Appellees’
motion for partial summary judgment, directing the sale of the subject property, as
well as the order denying her emergency motion to vacate judgment. We dismiss as
untimely the appeal of the order on Appellees’ motion for partial summary judgment
because that order was final and appealable, and, therefore, Appellant had thirty days
to file her notice of appeal. See Perez v. Jaimot, 326 So. 3d 748, 749 (Fla. 3d DCA
2021) (“[A]n order of partition is final at such time as the court directs the sale of
the property.”); Morrison v. Smolarick, 334 So. 3d 675, 676 (Fla. 2d DCA 2022)
(“A partition order directing the sale of property is final even when the court retains
jurisdiction ‘for the purpose of adjusting, by a further decree, the accounts between
the parties.’” (quoting Camp Phosphate Co. v. Anderson, 37 So. 722, 726 (Fla.
1904))). We affirm the trial court’s order denying Appellant’s emergency motion to
vacate judgment in all respects.
AFFIRMED in part; DISMISSED in part.
