Head Matter:
FLORIDA A & M UNIVERSITY BOARD OF TRUSTEES, Petitioner, v. Marjorie THOMAS, Respondent.
No. 5D09-1127.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
Oct. 16, 2009.
Bill McCollum, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Sabrina E. Redd, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Petitioner.
Thomas P. Hockman of Law Offices of Hockman & Hockman, Winter Park, for Respondent.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Petitioner seeks a writ of certiorari, contending that the trial court's denial of its motion for summary judgment constituted a departure from the essential requirements of law. It is petitioner's position that respondent's claim is barred by application of the sovereign immunity doctrine. We conclude that we lack jurisdiction to review this interlocutory order. See Dep't of Education v. Roe, 679 So.2d 756 (Fla.1996); School Bd. of Miami-Dade County v. Leyva, 975 So.2d 576 (Fla. 3d DCA 2008).
Petition for Writ of Certiorari DENIED.
MONACO, C.J., EVANDER and JACOBUS, JJ., concur.
