Philip Morris v. Jett, 802 So.2d 353, District Court of Appeals of Florida, Third District (2001).
Jett brought a lawsuit against several tobacco companies. The trial judge issued an order determining the parties’ respective burdens of proof, and defendants appealed, arguing that the order was final and reviewable by the Court. The Court dismissed the appeal, finding the trial court's order simply an evidentiary ruling and not a final appealable order.
