Head Matter:
YANKEETOWN MANAGEMENT, LLC, Appellant, v. SUNTRUST MORTGAGE, INC., Appellee.
No. 2D14-2828.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
May 22, 2015.
Thomas C. Jennings, III of Repka & Jennings, P.A., Clearwater, for Appellant.
Nancy M. Wallace and Ryan D. O’Con-nor of Akerman LLP, Tallahassee; and William P. Heller of Akerman LLP, Fort Lauderdale, for Appellee.

Opinion:
KELLY, Judge.
We dismiss the appeal because the appellant, Yankeetown Management LLC, lacks standing to challenge the final judgment of foreclosure in this case. Yankee-town did not seek to intervene before the final judgment was rendered; therefore, it is a legal stranger to the action. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.020(g)(1) (defining "Appellant" as a "party"); Portfolio Invs. Corp. v. Deutsche Bank Nat'l Trust Co., 81 So.3d 534, 536 (Fla. 3d DCA 2012) (holding that generally a nonparty is a stranger to the record and lacks standing to appeal an order rendered by the lower court).
Appeal dismissed.
ALTENBERND and KHOUZAM, JJ., Concur.
