Head Matter:
Jimmie L. WILLIAMS, Appellant, v. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & REHABILITATIVE SERVICES, et al., Appellees.
No. 84-1498.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Geraldyne H. Carlton, of Carlton & Carlton, P.A., Lakeland, for appellees.

Opinion:
ON MOTION TO DISMISS APPEAL
ORFINGER, Judge.
The motion to dismiss the appeal is granted because the notice of appeal was not timely. An order entered under Rule 1.540(b) is a non-final order. Smith v. Weede, 433 So.2d 992 (Fla. 5th DCA 1983). A motion for rehearing is authorized only as to a final order, so when addressed to a non-final order it does not delay rendition of that order. Hofer v. Gil De Rubio, 409 So.2d 527 (Fla. 5th DCA 1982); Fla.R. App.P. 9.020(g). The notice of appeal was filed more than 30 days from rendition of the order sought to be reviewed, so we have no jurisdiction. Smith, supra; Ramos v. State, 456 So.2d 1297 (Fla. 2d DCA 1984).
APPEAL DISMISSED.
FRANK D. UPCHURCH, Jr., and CO-WART, JJ., concur.
