Peter A. Mallory, Judge.

PER CURIAM.
Appellant seeks review of a Final Judgment and Order on
Report and Recommendation on Petition for Termination of
Parental Rights and Adoption. However, this order does not
finally dispose of the issue of termination of parental rights. J.A.
v. Dep’t of Children & Families, 18 So. 3d 665 (Fla. 1st DCA
2009); E.S. v. Dep’t of Children & Families, 836 So. 2d 1089 (Fla.
1st DCA 2003). Therefore, the appeal is premature and is hereby
dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
MAKAR, OSTERHAUS, and WINSOR, JJ., concur.
_____________________________
Not final until disposition of any timely and
authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
