M.D. v. Department of Children & Families (812 So. 2d 598, 2002)

PER CURIAM.

Having considered the appellant’s response to this Court’s order, dated February 21, 2002, the appeal is hereby dismissed as premature. The order on appeal is not “sufficiently final as to termination of parental rights to dispose of that separate, independent issue.” See G.L.S. v. Dep’t of Children and Families, 724 So.2d 1181, 1186 (Fla.1998).

ALLEN, C.J., BOOTH and WEBSTER, JJ., concur.
