Head Matter:
In the Interest of M.A., a minor child.
No. 91-2117.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
Dec. 4, 1991.
As Amended on Motion for Rehearing Feb. 26, 1992.
Sondra R. Schwartz, Fort Lauderdale, for appellant, Department of HRS.
Karen M. Zann of Balocco and Zann, Fort Lauderdale, for appellee, Natural Mother of Minor Child.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We sua sponte dismiss this appeal of a non-final order in a dependency proceeding for lack of jurisdiction. In Department of Health & Rehabilitative Services v. Honeycutt, 584 So.2d 192 (Fla. 5th DCA 1991), the fifth district differentiated issues of child custody in domestic relations matters and dependency proceedings under chapter 39, Florida Statutes, for review under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.130(a)(3)(C)(iii). We agree that the words of limitation, "in domestic relations matters," preclude our consideration of the instant case under the rule. We note, as did the fifth district, conflict with In the Interest of Unknown P., 546 So.2d 21 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989). We also decline to consider the issue raised by way of our certiorari power.
GLICKSTEIN, C.J., and GUNTHER, J., concur.
STONE, J., concurs specially with opinion.
