Thomas L. CARRIN, Appellant, v. Mildred R. GOODE, a/k/a Mildred K. Merrill, et al., Appellee.
    No. 5D99-1578.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
    March 24, 2000.
    A. Kathleen McNeilly of A. Kathleen McNeilly & Associates, P.A., Deland, for Appellant.
    James R. Clayton, of Clayton & Teal, P.A., Deland, for Appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

THOMPSON, J., and ORFINGER, M., Senior Judge, concur.

GRIFFIN, J., concurs in part and dissents in part, with opinion.

GRIFFIN, J.,

concurring in part; dissenting in part.

I believe we do have jurisdiction pursuant to Article 5, Section 4(b)(3) of the Florida Constitution, so dismissal is not appropriate. Notwithstanding my doubts about the trial court’s power to award an automobile to a cohabitant who never owned it, given the panel’s affirmance in the related case (5D99-781), we are bound to affirm in this case.
