Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Having considered the appellant's response to the Court's order dated July 17, 2000, the appeal is hereby dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. The appellant's counterclaims involve the same transaction as the complaint; as such, they are compulsory. Compulsory counterclaims are not ap-pealable until final disposition of the complaint. See Campbell v. Gordon, 674 So.2d 783, 785 (Fla. 1st DCA 1996).
