Friends of the Everglades v. State, Department of Environmental Regulation (387 So. 2d 511, 1980)

ON MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION OF JURISDICTION

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from an order of the Department of Environmental Regulation concerning issues arising under Section 258.165, Florida Statutes. The Court has determined that the appeal is premature because review by the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund has not been exhausted. See, Peterson v. State Department of Environmental Regulation, 350 So.2d 544 (Fla. 1st DCA 1977); Section 5, Chapter 80-66, Laws of Florida; Chapter 17-1.70(2), Florida Administrative Code. Accordingly, this appeal is hereby dismissed without prejudice to any party’s right to appeal from an adverse decision by the Board of Trustees.

ROBERT P. SMITH, Jr., ERVIN and WENTWORTH, JJ., concur.
