Head Matter:
JOSEPHTHAL LYON & ROSS, INC., and Steven Oates, Appellants, v. C & A FINANCIAL PROGRAMS, INC., a Florida corporation, Appellee.
No. 98-1089.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
May 20, 1998.
Robbie D. Lake Mayer and Ronald D. Shindler of Fowler, White, Burnett, Hurley, Baniek & Strickroot, P.A, Miami, for appellants.
No appearance required for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal of an order denying a motion to compel arbitration. Appellant moved for a rehearing on the matter, which the trial court denied. Appellant filed this appeal within 80 days of the order denying rehearing but more than 30 days after the order denying arbitration. We dismiss the appeal because the order denying arbitration is non-final, as to which the motion for rehearing was unauthorized, and therefore the appeal is untimely. See Fla.R.App.P. 9.020(g); Wagner v. Bieley, Wagner & Assoc. Inc., 263 So.2d 1 (Fla.1972); Smith v. Weede, 433 So.2d 992 (Fla. 5th DCA 1983); and Potucek v. Smeja, 419 So.2d 1192 (Fla. 2nd DCA 1982).
DELL and POLEN, JJ., concur.
FARMER, J., dissents with opinion.
