YANKEETOWN MANAGEMENT, LLC, Appellant, v. SUNTRUST MORTGAGE, INC., Appellee.
    No. 2D14-2828.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
    May 22, 2015.
    
      Thomas C. Jennings, III of Repka & Jennings, P.A., Clearwater, for Appellant.
    Nancy M. Wallace and Ryan D. O’Con-nor of Akerman LLP, Tallahassee; and William P. Heller of Akerman LLP, Fort Lauderdale, for Appellee.
   KELLY, Judge.

We dismiss the appeal because the appellant, Yankeetown Management LLC, lacks standing to challenge the final judgment of foreclosure in this case. Yankee-town did not seek to intervene before the final judgment was rendered; therefore, it is a legal stranger to the action. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.020(g)(1) (defining “Appellant” as a “party”); Portfolio Invs. Corp. v. Deutsche Bank Nat’l Trust Co., 81 So.3d 534, 536 (Fla. 3d DCA 2012) (holding that generally a nonparty is a stranger to the record and lacks standing to appeal an order rendered by the lower court).

Appeal dismissed.

ALTENBERND and KHOUZAM, JJ., Concur.
