AMERICAN HERITAGE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellant, v. Jeannette C. HALL, Appellee. Jeannette C. Hall, Appellant/Cross-Appellee, v. American Heritage Life Insurance Company, Appellee/Cross-Appellant.
    No. 5D09-3493, 5D09-3555.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
    July 1, 2011.
    Rehearing and Rehearing En Banc Denied Aug. 22, 2011.
    T. Geoffrey Heekin, Tracy L. Wenzel and Hilary D. Wilson of Heekin, Malin & Wenzel, P.A., Jacksonville, for Appellant/Appellee/Cross-Appellant.
    Kimberly P. Simoes and Mario B. Si-moes of The Simoes Law Group, P.A., Deland, Shannon McLin Carlyle and Christopher V. Carlyle of The Carlyle Appellate Law Firm, The Villages, for Appel-lee/Appellant/Cross-Appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

The appeal in case number 09-3493 was filed prematurely because the order was not final at the time it was filed. Interamerican Car Rental, Inc. v. O’Brien, 618 So.2d 760 (Fla. 3d DCA 1993). Nevertheless, the order became final when the final judgment was entered in case number 09-3555. Accordingly, we consolidate these appeals, sua sponte, and affirm as to all issues in both appeals.

AFFIRMED.

SAWAYA, TORPY and EVANDER, JJ, concur.
