Lily Alvarez-Mejia,
Appellant,
vs.
Bellissimo Properties, LLC, et al.,
Appellees.
An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Mavel Ruiz,
Judge.
Marin, Eljaiek, Lopez, & Martinez, P.L., and Steven E. Gurian, for appellant.
Cohen Law, and Danielle Cohen Higgins, and Keith R. Gaudioso, for
appellees.
Before LOGUE, LINDSEY, and GORDO, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Appellant Lily Alvarez-Mejia appeals an order granting partial summary
judgment in favor of Appellee Bellissimo Properties, LLC on two counts of Alvarez-
Mejia’s amended complaint. Because the remaining two counts arise from the same
set of underlying facts, the order under review is a non-final, non-appealable order.
See Morgan v. Am. Bankers Life Assur. Co. of Florida, 605 So. 2d 104, 105 (Fla.
3d DCA 1992) (“We adhere to the rule that piecemeal appeals should not be
permitted where claims are legally interrelated and in substance involve the same
transaction.” (quoting Mendez v. W. Flagler Family Ass’n, 303 So. 2d 1, 5 (Fla.
1974))). Moreover, we decline to accept certiorari jurisdiction because Alvarez-
Mejia has failed to show that the challenged non-final order results in irreparable
harm that cannot be remedied on appeal. See Fernandez-Andrew v. Fla. Peninsula
Ins. Co., 208 So. 3d 835, 836 (Fla. 3d DCA 2017) (“Because Petitioner has failed to
meet the threshold requirement of showing that the circuit court’s order creates
irreparable harm, we dismiss the petition for writ of certiorari for lack of
jurisdiction.”). We therefore grant Bellissimo’s motion to dismiss and dismiss this
appeal.
Dismissed.
