Charles D’ASARO and Patricia D’Asaro, Individually and as Survivors of Kathleen Clayton, and Christine Walsh, Individually and as Next Friend of Daniel Walsh and Marisa Walsh, Appellants, v. FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, David B. Struhs, Anderson Columbia Co., Inc., Bobby A. Cooley, Panhandle Land & Timber Company, Inc., Frank A. Darabi and Michael Lenga, Appellees.
    No. 1D03-1184.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    May 29, 2003.
    Richard L. Windsor, Tallahassee, for Appellants.
    Jack Chisolm, Deputy General Counsel, Tallahassee; W. Robert Vezina, III, and Mary P. Vance, Tallahassee, for Appellees.
   PER CURIAM.

Having considered the appellees’ Motion to Dismiss, filed on March 26, 2003, as well as Appellants’ Response to Motion to Dismiss Appeal and Order(s) to Show Cause, filed on April 24, 2003, we GRANT the appellees’ Motion to Dismiss and hereby dismiss this appeal as premature. See S.L.T. Warehouse Co. v. Webb, 304 So.2d 97, 99 (Fla.1974). The order on appeal is not a final appealable order because it merely dismissed appellants’ complaint without prejudice to their right to file an amended complaint, which did not bring an end to the judicial labor of the cause. See Tweed v. Bowden, 840 So.2d 1094 (Fla. 1st DCA 2003); Augustin v. Blount, Inc., 573 So.2d 104 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991).

The appellees’ Motion for Attorneys’ Fees and for Determination of Inapplicability of Notice Provision, filed on April 29, 2003 is DENIED.

BARFIELD, WOLF and DAVIS, JJ., concur.
