Blore v. Fierro, 636 So.2d 1329 (Fla.1994)

Rule 9.030, Fla. R. App. P., provides, in relevant part:
 * (c) Jurisdiction of Circuit Courts.
 * (1) Appeal Jurisdiction. The circuit courts shall review, by appeal
 * (A) final orders of lower tribunals as provided by general law;

The Committee Notes to the 2000 Amendment to Rule 9.030 clarify that “[s]ubdivision (c)(1)(B) was amended to reflect that the appellate jurisdiction of circuit courts is prescribed by general law and not by Rule 9.130, as clarified in Blore v. Fierro, 636 So.2d 1329 (Fla.1994).” Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.030, Florida Rules of the Court Vol. 1, 783 (West 2010).

In this regard Blore v. Fierro provides:


 * The Florida Constitution establishes a controlling distinction between the appellate jurisdiction of the district courts of appeal and the appellate jurisdiction of the circuit court . ..
 * Article V, section 5(b), Florida Constitution, which sets forth the jurisdiction of the circuit courts, reads as follows:
 * The circuit courts shall have original jurisdiction not vested in the county courts, and jurisdiction of appeals when provided by general law. ..
 * It is important to note that, while this Court is given exclusive rulemaking authority over interlocutory appeals to the district courts of appeal, the Constitution does not provide this Court with such authority for appeals from the county court to the circuit court. The authority for appeals to the circuit court is established solely by general law as enacted by the legislature. 636 So.2d at 1331 (emphasis in original).
