Head Matter:
TOWN OF PALM BEACH and Gallagher Bassett Ins. Co., Appellants, v. Remare WATTS, Appellee.
No. AG-291.
Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
June 18, 1982.
Rehearing Denied Feb. 22, 1983.
Richard H. Gaunt, Jr., West Palm Beach, for appellants.
Michael J. Amendola of Stierer, Amendo-la & Kaplan, West Palm Beach, for appel-lee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Employer/carrier appeal a workers' compensation order which patently does not dispose of all matured issues in controversy between the parties. Compensation proceedings may, of course, generate successive appealable final orders, each covering all benefits then due and not agreed between the parties. Hunt v. International Minerals, 410 So.2d 640 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982). A deputy may also enter interim orders as to a portion of a claim before him, but by definition such a ruling is interlocutory when it disposes of less than all matters which are ripe for determination and not stipulated between the parties on the claim. The Wash House v. Tucker, 413 So.2d 813 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982); General Electric Co. v. Hawkins, 413 So.2d 836 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982).
The appeal is therefore dismissed sua sponte without prejudice to review of the order in the event of appeal from a final order on the claim.
BOOTH, WENTWORTH and WIGGIN-TON, JJ., concur.
