Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Sheron Wells, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
Per Curiam.
DISMISSED . See Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.540(b) (authorizing a party to move for relief from "a final judgment, decree, [or] order" for reasons provided under the Rule); see also State v. White , 40 Fla. 297, 24 So. 160, 165 (1898) (explaining that the judicial labor in a case is brought to an end by an order when it "finally disposes of every question involved in the case. It certainly leaves nothing open for future decision, nor does it contemplate that any further action is to be had in the cause, other than to enforce the decree rendered."); Howard v. Ziegler , 40 So. 2d 776, 777 (Fla. 1949) ("Judgment is final when it adjudicates the merits of the cause and disposes of the pending action, leaving nothing further to be done but the execution of the judgment.").
Rowe, C.J., and M.K. Thomas and Tanenbaum, JJ., concur.
